Jordan & Caitlin | Lakeside Engagement Session I

When I first met Caitlin, we were both still in college and looking for an apartment to rent off-campus, and found each other through a mutual friend. I'm so glad our paths crossed, because it's been a privilege to get to know her better as an incredibly thoughtful, hardworking, and beautiful person. I had always noticed Caitlin's classic style, genuine smile, and easy laughter at school, and thought that she and her then boyfriend Jordan were so perfect together, and clearly adored one another. 

I was thrilled when Caitlin asked if I would be their photographer! It is so precious to see and be able to capture how much Caitlin just adores Jordan, and how Jordan has the sweetest way of making Caitlin laugh. Jordan and Caitlin picked two lakefront locations for their late May session; one was a sunny beach with a huge rock wall and gorgeous hilltop views of the lake, and the other was at a rustic pebble beach with cozy woods and a charming boat house.

These two have an amazing story of how they fell in love, and they both are overwhelmed at God's ever-perfect timing in bringing them together. When Jordan first saw Caitlin at a young adult church activity, he knew she was the "perfect girl", but he never approached her, and she soon left for college in South Carolina. He never forgot about her, and she always came to mind whenever someone asked him to describe the perfect girl. He prayed that God would give him another chance to meet her, and that prayer was answered a couple of years later, when she transferred to the same university that he attended in Wisconsin. The perfect opportunity came - they were both in the same computer lab, working on a paper they had for a class they were in together, and he worked up the courage to talk to her for the first time. Within a month, they were dating, and the rest is history! 

I am so excited for these two; they compliment each other so well, and I know they are going to be so happy together! Our session was such a blast - Jordan is so fun-loving, and Caitlin is not only gorgeous (as you will see shortly) but her laugh is infectious, and she is so caring to all she knows. I feel so blessed that I get to work with such awesome people; enjoy these favorites of mine from their engagement session!
