The Classic Car as a Symbol:

We began the session at Sundance Square in Fort Worth, where a beautifully restored classic car awaited J+G. Throughout their session, their genuine excitement and love for each other radiated. Whether it was the way J’s eyes sparkled as G whispered something in her ear or the infectious laughter they shared, every frame immortalized their love story.

The classic car became more than just a prop in the photos; it symbolized the journey J and G were embarking on together. Just as the car stood the test of time, their love had the same enduring quality. With each pose and interaction, the car became a backdrop for their story, adding an extra layer of elegance.

about the couple: J+G

Like most modern day love stories, these two met through Hinge in 2018. G and J dated long distance while she finished college. Then shortly after graduating, G proposed on a romantic gondola boat ride that J thought was an early birthday surprise before going to celebrate at dinner. In the water in the middle of the boat ride there was a bottle floating with a letter G had written to J. Then, he reached in the water to get the bottle, read a letter asking for her hand in marriage and got on one knee. Talk about a Notebook worthy moment.

Timeless Elegance Meets Nature Chic

As the engagement session continued, J and G effortlessly transitioned from the classic car setting to a nature preserve, Tandy Hills. This allowed for a captivating blend of timeless elegance and modern charm. Against the sweeping city views and vast open area, we captured stunning images that perfectly encapsulated the couple’s dynamic energy and their love for exploring the world together and champagne. Can’t forget the champagne.
