Downtown Memphis can be so much for for engagement photos. Mary Alexander (MA) and Court’s was an absolute blast. Speaking of “blast” would you believe me if I told you MA and Court’s relationship started with an M&M Sonic Blast?
MA + Court have met and started dating in high school in 2012. MA unfortunately got pretty sick and missed some school. Sweet Court would drive over after school with her schoolwork, and her favorite, a M&M Sonic Blast. MA said it best, “We fell in love fast and have been together ever since! It will be eight years this May!“
John and I become friends with so many of our couples, because they are all so amazing, and MA and Court are no exception. We just clicked with them instantly at their engagement session, and we absolutely cannot wait to photographer their wedding this July at Annesdale Mansion.
We asked MA and Court what their favorite memory of each other is, and honestly I have to share both with you, they are the most perfect responses:
MA: “After almost eight years it is really hard to pick a favorite memory. I feel so blessed to have grown up with him by my side. Some of my favorite times were in the very beginning. I was fifteen and Court was sixteen. He would pick me up in his big yellow Hummer and we would drive the same circle over and over. We would roll the windows down, blast music, and sing to the top of our lungs. I would be that fifteen year old girl over and over again. As we have gotten older, we have been blessed to experience somany different places together. From New York to Santa Monica, any place with Court is my favorite. I could go on and on. It seems like everyday there is a new memory with him and I can’t wait to see what else God has in store for us!”
Court: “Some of my favorite memories with Mary Alexander are the experiences we’ve had on trips. I remember back in high school when we went to the beach for 3 weeks and we literally sat on the beach every day listening to music, getting lost in conversation(and getting burnt to a crisp lol). Another memory is when I visited her in New York City when she lived there for a summer. It was my first time in the city. The first place we hit up was Shake Shack and my life was forever changed haha. She showed me the whole city in just a few days, and it’s a memory I’ll never forget. I listed a few but I could go on and on with memories I’ve made with MA.”
In case you couldn’t tell, we just adore the love these two have for each other. MA + Court, you two are a breath of fresh air, and we can’t wait for July!
