America’s favorite couple is about to steal your heart, mark my words.
If you follow me on Insta (and if you don’t please do! @kellyginn22 + @johntginn) then you’ve probably seen a few sneaks of these two kiddies.
Let me rewind for you. Back when Whole Foods opened in Memphis, John and I wanted to go check it out. We were stopped by an adorable, trendy couple who informed us they followed our work and loved it. We were obviously flattered and blushing. Almost two years later, that trendy couple we met in Whole Foods hired US to capture their big day this coming May at Mallard’s Croft.
When Abby texted me asking what dates I had available for 2016, I wanted to cry, for several reasons. 1. I adore this couple, and it’s an honor they even considered us. 2. We hadn’t yet announced that we were moving to San Francisco, and I was worried that this would deter Abby and Clay from hiring us. And 3. I couldn’t imagine seeing any other photographer with this couple. In my head, they were already “our couple.” (Greedy of me, I know.) Luckily, the stars aligned, and Clay and Abby (who I keep accidentally referring to as ‘Clabby’) are flying us back next May for their special day.
We started what is now one of our favorite engagement sessions, at a park bench where Clay and Abby had their first kiss. I love that these two wanted to include such sweet memories in this new chapter of theirs. We then headed to Mallard’s Croft, a quirky, colorful barn on acres of land, full of sunflowers, corn stalks, and even a pasture where horses run wild. It’s beyond perfect for Abby and Clay.
Future bride and grooms, take note of Abby and Clay’s attire. They should be the poster children for “What to wear for engagement photos.” Their outfits had us drooling for sure, and they even somehow managed to make the heat look amazing.
Abby and Clay, we hope you love these as much as we do!
Enjoy!
