The sun dips low in the midsummer sky and backlights the world as Jennifer and Roc stroll down the stone-lined walkway through the park. The light shimmers across the water and through Jennifer’s straw-colored hair like the tall grass of the Oklahoma summer. Their love shines through it all. In October they’ll be wed here in this very place. The air will be chilled; the temperature the same.

Later, Jennifer’s heels click across the hot pavement and echo off the buildings along the sparsely populated downtown street. Hand in hand she and Roc walk along the sidewalks, past the cafes and empty offices. They sit and chat outside a bustling restaurant; pose playfully in front of a Maserati. It matches her dress. As the last light falls across the city he dips her and their effervescent laughter bounces off the glass around the city park.

Taylor and Eric have a beautiful story and it made capturing their proposal and engagement photos that much more special. They met and dated for only a while before Eric was deployed with the Air Force, to Afganistan. Through Skype, email and many calls their relationship blossomed and they are getting married at the end of October.
Technically, before the session Eric had yet to propose, as Taylor thought the ring was still being set and he couldn’t have it for at least another month, but because he lives in Utah and she lives here, they needed to do their session when he was in town.
Taylor was certainly surprised when Eric got down on one knee during their engagement session!

The love Eric and Taylor share was so evident. They could barely stop looking at each other and keep their hands off one another. Throughout the entire session there was constant laughter, but mostly there was surprise and excitement, as Eric turned around right in the middle of our session with the ring in his hand and got down on his knee. Taylor was totally shocked and they were both so happy. Smiles never left their faces the rest of our session and I am sure the rest of the weekend.
Congratulations to this beautiful couple and Simply White Photo can’t wait for the wedding!

Emily and Jerod’s engagement photos were taken last week in the 100+ degree temperatures and despite the heat they were completely unfazed and totally awesome. I had so much fun shooting them because their personalities were so complimentary of each other and I loved watching them interact with one another. He is the small (-ish) town kind of guy and she is a little city, but together they make a couple that you can see holding hands and smooching in public 50 years from now. Jerod joked about everything and throughout the whole session reminded Emily that he sure thought she was something with cute little compliments like that she had the most gorgeous green eyes or looked beautiful! Through the night Emily just laughed at his jokes and giggled and got all cute and sort of shy at his compliments. I just love seeing couples like Emily and Jerod that truly seem perfect. I just know that their wedding in September is going to an intimate, but so fun wedding and I can’t wait!!!

Scheduling engagement sessions is often more exciting than it should be. For example, we worked hard to schedule a shoot for this lovely couple, Megan and Alex. But with his work schedule and her school schedule, time was tight. Add to that the unpredictable Oklahoma weather and… well you get the picture.
But, we finally got it shot and despite being during finals week, it turned out beautiful.

Penny and Daniel arrived in Tulsa from Bartlesville just about the time the clouds lifted and the wind settled down. It doesn’t really get better than this _ a golden April evening, the landscape pink with blooming azaleas and love that shows on two faces every time their eyes meet. Their wedding is planned for October. .jpg)
