When you’re passionate about something it shows. You can be passionate about the person you love, the work you care about, the school you’re proud to say is your alma mater, or the family God gave you. Passion is something that crosses the line into love so frequently it’s hard to tell the two apart.
We knew Stacy and John had a special love when we met them. We also knew they were passionate about each other and their alma mater- Texas A&M University (gig ‘em Aggies!!). It’s a given to say Stacy and John have a heart for people. They met doing volunteer service for Save our Streets Ministries- while they were both college students. It was there that they got to know each other first; there that they had their first date at an S.O.S. banquet, and there that John chose to ask Stacy to be his forever.
We think it’s an amazing story- and that’s only a glimpse of it. You’ll have to wait until the wedding post to read the rest!
Their engagement session started pretty early, and John was a good sport about it (we barely even caught him yawning in photos…! ; )
We don’t usually know what our couples will choose to wear on a session, so it’s always a surprise to see them on the day of the shoot. Stacy and John rocked their session in great style! LOVE love love the outfits these two chose! Not too complicated, but still really fashionable.
One of our favorite Save the Dates! Our other favorite is actually the one they chose to use for their Save the Dates, so we decided not to preview it and keep everyone in suspense until they get it in the mail : )
How romantic is this? OHHHHH and the sun was perfect, too. : )
Stacy, you are just too beautiful!
Stacy and John prove that they can rock the dramatic, serious black and white, too.
One of the first compliments John gave Stacy was, “Nice shoes.” So… its fitting to include a shoe shot. : )
We’ll end with the gorgeous ring and a kiss. The very best things in life. ; )
When you love people, and you love each other, your love can’t help but grow. Stacy & John, we know that’ll be the case for you guys and we can’t wait to be a part of your wedding next year!
