Brent + Allison | Eden Gardens State Park Spring Engagement

Eden Gardens spring engagement session

Mississippi boy meets Chicago girl:

We have known Brent for the last decade and have seen how patient he was with waiting for the right girl to come along in his life. He is the type of guy who goes out of his way for anyone, loves everyone, and cares deeply. He’s truly one of a kind. So when we were told so nonchalantly that he had ‘met someone’ we knew there must be more to this story…I mean, Brent wasn’t going to settle with just anyone. As the time would pass, we’d hear more about this mystery Chicago girl whom he quickly fell in love with…and we knew…she must be IT. Allison and Brent would visit each other pretty regularly, so when she’d come down, it was always a treat to be around her! Her laugh is contagious and her smile is gorgeous. Aside from her beauty (she’s a beaut!!), she has a kind heart. If you ask Brent one thing he loves so much about her, it’s guaranteed that he’ll say her heart.

Christmas break rolled around and Brent eagerly asked, “So…will you two be around the first weekend of April? I’m going to need to hire you…” That’s when we knew it. He was going to propose! He had the ring custom-designed and everything! The original idea was for us to photograph (secretly, of course) the proposal, but when Allison got in town, she was sick. But, to Brent’s character, he was sticking to his plan. Sickness wasn’t going to stop him. 🙂 They had their sweet, personal proposal at sunset on the beach, and a few days later we met for their engagement session at the BEAUTIFUL Eden Gardens State Park. If you haven’t be there…GO. With the mossy oaks blowing in the wind, the light shining through the branches, and the genuine love between these two, the day was perfect.

We love you two so much and are so excited to photograph your fall wedding!!
