Brittany & Steven are Getting Married! {McKinney Wedding Photographer}

Last weekend, I had the honor of assisting Teresa Gardner, with LightBox Photography, at the engagement session of Brittany and Steven. She even let me snap a few...ok we obviously more than a few because as we got going, Brittany and Steven were totally working the cameras!! And now, it's SO difficult for me to just pick a handful of my favs!!



I love learning the backstory of couples, and come to find out that Brittany and Steven are highschool sweethearts, that have made it over all these years, and are now going to become husband and wife. Funny part is, these two are actually alumns of my same high school and are just a few years younger than me. Actually Brittany was in my sister's class, though it didn't sound like they knew each other...which is totally understandable with a graduating class of 1200 students!!!
Ok, so anyway...on to the photography fun...
This session took place at the amazing McKinney Cotton Mill. This was my first experience with the Cotton Mill, and I must say, this place has the most amazing lighting!!! Great nooks and cranies, both indoors and outdoors, with walls of windows letting in a combo of romantic and dramatic lighting. We got to play with silhouettes...
And even a little dance practice for the big day...

Don't these two beautiful individuals make one stunning couple??!!!
This little stairwell, which actually led to nothing but a tiny storage room, was probably a fan favorite of Teresa and I...One of the best locations within the Cotton Mill (at least for soft natural lighting)....

These next photos are some of my top favs. They look so comfortable...just snuggled up on the couch, getting ready for a romantic night in or something. So sweet!!




Steven (a firefighter) and Brittany (a nurse) are a team to be reckoned with. Not only as valuable members of society, saving lives left and right...but they are simply stunning in such a sweet way!



I just love that Teresa and I can use each other to help grow our businesses! She's super talented and despite our Nikon vs. Cannon difference, we work really well together. So, if you're getting married...there are two amazing photographers, Jessica and Teresa, totally ready to capture your memories! Thanks so much Teresa!!
