Taylor and Jordan, Queen Creek Arizona Engagement Session

We drove around their upcoming wedding venue out at Schnepf farms, and everywhere we looked was the perfect photo op! From Cherry blossoms to peach trees, to forests that looked like they belonged up north, there was so much beauty everywhere! Then steps out Taylor and Jordyn looking like they just stepped out of a magazine! Everything from the makeup to the hair and outifts! It was all just right! 

Jordyn and Taylor were our 2017 Launch Giveaway Winners! Not only did they win  a session with me, but that lovely makeup on Jordan is by the very talented Jena over at Makeup Artistry! She is a pro at making brides skin glow on their big day with facial treatments leading up to the wedding that are unique to each skin type! I get my facials with her too and have seen a big improvement on brightness! Along with makeup and photos this lukcy bride also is going in to the brand new Uptown Bridal for a consultation with the pros! We are hoping she finds her perfect dress while she eats treats and tries on dresses in front of friends and family! Sounds like the perfect Saturday to me!

Taylor and Jordan clearly have an amazing connection and we jumped right in to our session that I now have SO many new favorite photos! These two are from my same town in Phoenix so the bond got tight real quick as we walked the property snapping photos and laughing! They are so comfortable with each other and it was such a fun shoot! Jordyn and Taylor, my Tukee comrades! I am so incredibly excited for you two as head towards marriage together! I know you have a ver fun journey ahead of you and I wish you all the luck and I love I can send! 
Much love, 
Jenn 

“The proposal was magical. Last Christmas, we decided to spend the Holiday in Ireland, as this is a place both of us were dying to visit. There were tons of amazing places we wanted to visit and Trinity College was on the top of the list. We were admiring the views at the top of the Guinness Storehouse Factory when the clouds parted and the sun decided to shin through! We knew this was our moment to go take in  the beauty of Trinity College before the rain hit again. We rushed over to Trinity, following the sun rays and as we arrived, we stood at the front of these huge wooden doors. Before we went inside I looked and Taylor and I told him “I am going to take a ridiculous amount of photographs so…. Be patient with me because we may be here a while”. Together we walked off the bustling street, through the doors and into the peaceful, historical, serene courtyard. Being that it was December 23rd, there was hardly anyone around (to our surprise). I was taking a video of the beauty that surrounded me. He caught  my attention and said “you should record US walking in front of the camera so we can be in the video too”. Totally did not think this was suspicious at the time (not looking back, how did I not see what was up!)  I though…wow… that is such a GREAT idea, Taylor is being so receptive. We set the camera down facing the arch in the center of the courtyard and walked towards it. Once we reached the  center of the arch, Taylor spun me around, pulled me in for a kiss and immediately I knew what was about to go down just  by the giddy, nervous expression on his face. We stood in silence (I stood, he kneeled) as we were both caught in the emotion at a loss for words.  After 6  years of being together, all the emotions erupted at that moment.  Tay finally spoke and through my tears I could see a ring. I said YES! It is all on video for us to re-live and show our children! Tay picked out the ring on all his own and planned the proposal …. He did good!” - Jordyn

“One of my favorite things about Jordyn is her fun loving and caring spirit, it is infectious. No matter what is going on around her she always seems to find the good in situations and in people. Her amazing grey/blue eyes get me every time as well.” - Taylor

“Jordyn and I were on a snowboard trip in Flagstaff and having an amazing day, I remember thinking I could spend the rest of my life having fun with this person so I said those three words….I would have to wait another few months for them to be returned to me while we were watching movies and eating Chinese takeout but it was worth the wait.

“ If I had to choose three words that describe Jordyn and I’s relationship it would be; Complementary, Beautiful, Eternal.” - Taylor

“Our wedding will be at the beautiful Schnepf Farm’s on March 2nd in front of the picturesque peach orchard. After the ceremony, we will transfer over to the awing barn. The vast ceilings, grand space and industrialized décor had us the second we stepped foot inside. We are planning everything together and are in the beginning phase of combining ideas, as we still have a year! We want to enjoy our time being engaged and don’t want to feel  rushed so we made sure to pick a date that gave us ample time to plan and actually enjoy the planning.” - Jordyn

“I first knew I was in love with Taylor a while before I actually told him! I knew I loved him but I was afraid to say it. The night I finally let it out was when we were dog/house sitting for a family friend. We were lying on the bed just after eating dinner.  I was looking around the room and I could so easily picture us here, living together. Making this scenario our own. That to me was a HUGE indication that I was ready to be with him forever. I looked up at him and I said “Taylor, I love you”.  I will NEVER forget the expression on his face. It was shock, excitement and affection all rolled into one, followed by a most passionate kiss. (he had already told me he loved me a few months earlier and I didn’t say it back, so I took him off guard a bit when I told him)!” – Jordyn
