She has this way of using her hands when she talks that draws you in; it’s hard to pinpoint why, but you find yourself hanging on whatever she’s saying. She smiles a lot, especially when she’s talking about Greg, that sort of smile that crinkles your nose. And Greg? He’s one of those joyful souls, the kind of person who isn’t phased by the small stuff. His laugh is this infectious chuckle that makes Jackie smile every time, the kind of laugh that’ll ease any tension. They laugh a lot together, Greg and Jackie; their relationship is one of those rare gems that bolsters those around them. The two of them together breathe life into their surroundings, and it’s so perfectly simple to understand how they ended up together.

After deciding not to pursue things past their first date, Jackie saw Greg at a bar six months later. This time she didn’t hesitate- she marched right up to him, initiated a conversation, and they’ve been together ever since, leaning on each other through it all. So when Jackie ascended the two flights of stairs to their apartment one night with arms of groceries in tow, she was initially a bit miffed that Greg hadn’t come down to help her. Miffed, that is, until she stepped in the apartment to find Greg on one knee with a sparkly ring and a question for her.

Greg & Jackie, thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph your love! I had such a good time with you both and I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed so much during an e-session. I am SO EXCITED for your wedding in May!! And a huge thanks to Ashlee Virginia Events for linking us up!

We began in the apartment where Greg asked Jackie to marry him…

LOVE!!!

Happy Tuesday!
