It’s easy to see that they have finally found the ONE… in each other. Jami and Chris enjoy date nights playing ‘Magic’ the Gathering card game, going to the movies and sometimes just sitting in their home watching tv. Chris is easy going, hard working and family oriented and would do just about anything to make Jami happy. So, when Jami suggested a 50s themed engagement session, Chris went along with no (little) hesitation. He even agreed to wear a fadora, wing tipped shoes, and a bow tie! Well, as they say a couple that plays together, stays together ; )
The session started with this polka dotted dress Jami found on ebay.com! She added a few red accessories, matching shoes and cat eye glasses to complete the look. Jami wears little makeup normally but was all excited about a makeover with JEMMA. She went with the 50s red-lips look, which looked absolutely gorgeous on her!
They adore each other…
G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S!
The shoot took place at the HOME PLACE Park in Ary and we were lucky enough to shoot inside one of the log homes. It was FILLED with antique/ vintage finds galore!
One of the many items Jami brought to the session.. her favorite was this little boy figurine. It reminded her of what men used to be like. Gentleman and well dressed. Chris is her ‘gentleman’. Always thinking of her needs above all else.
Are these husband and wife books hilarious?
They love old book, old things.
Chris wanted to incorporate several of books authored by his grandfather, Rufus into the session. The ‘boy & girl’ pictured on the cover is so fitting.
