Ashley & Cody = Engagement Session!

At-home Engagement Session  |  Ashley & Cody  |  November 21, 2022

It’s always an honor when our couples take us to a location that’s meaningful to them for their sessions! Ashley & Cody just bought this beautiful property in July, and are doing a massive renovation on the home & yard to make it their own! The farmhouse was built in 1901, and they are starting from the ground up with their renovations, and keeping as much of the original character (like 4 fireplaces and original moulding) as possible! Thankfully, Cody has HVAC/electrical experience, so they are doing as much of the renovation themselves & with family! I’m just obsessed with that white house with the double porches and the black tin roof! It’s just the cutest. What a special property they will have when they’re completely done!!! 🙂

Phillip actually met Ashley way back when he taught high school, and she was a student! Ashley’s brother was also in several of our weddings over the years – and it was such an honor when she reached out to us after getting engaged! We met with them over coffee almost a YEAR ago to talk about their wedding plans – so we were extra excited to catch up with them during their Engagement Session since it had been so long! 🙂

We had a mild November day for their Engagement Session! Even though the sun didn’t pop out, it wasn’t too cold so I was really thankful! We found the coolest little field across from their house, and I just LOVED the texture of the weedy field & having their beautiful home in the background. It was fun to explore around their beautiful property & the farmland around it.

Kristen Brabble of Hello Pretty did Ashley’s makeup, and Ashley looked STUNNING! I especially loved her eye makeup making her eyes pop! Her hair was curled beautifully too, and I just loved her entire look. Cody did such a good job of making Ashley smile and feel comfortable – and he’s just the sweetest! We SO enjoyed our time hanging out with him & touring their property while Ashley was getting glammed!

We had so much fun with these two, and I can’t wait for you to see all my favorite photos below! 🙂
