T+J Engagement Part I

When wedding planning you get lots of advice. Some useful, some you can forget you ever heard it.

One thing that has stuck with me, is the idea that within your budget you should spend on what is important to you & save on the things that aren't so crucial.

One crucial element to my wedding planning was finding the perfect photographer.

I have always had a great appreciation for photographers & knew that capturing our engagement, planning & big celebration in just the right way was something that seriously mattered to me. 

When I met Jessica of Jessica Ranae Photography, I knew she was the One.

Jessica's portfolio is filled with gorgeous pictures, using natural light, lots of relaxed people & yummy sun flare. meow!

Even though Mother Natured rained out our first scheduled session & threatened to postpone the second, we were blessed with 2 beyond beautiful days of photo shoots, resulting in pictures & memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.

Oh man, I might tear up with joy, excitement, love, silly girl emotions, etc. every time I look through those!

Stay tuned for Part II coming to a computer screen near you in the next week or so 

(includes the picture we chose for our Save the Date cards!)

If you are a Nashville or Minnesota bride looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Jessica.
