Downtown Memphis engagement sessions are even magical during the colder months, especially when they are of Chelsea + Russ. How adorable are these two?
From the moment Chelsea inquired, John and I KNEW she and Russ were OUR COUPLE. I am so glad we were able to trick them into hiring us, haha! The first time I spoke to Chelsea after she inquired with us, she was actually at Adee’s (our past bride) bachelorette trip. We absolutely loved Adee and Austin and we knew we just couldn’t wait to add Chelsea and Russ to the KGP family.
Chelsea and Russ live downtown, so they spend a lot of their time exploring new restaurants, spending time on their amazing rooftop patio that has an amazing view, and running together down by the river. It made complete and total sense that they do their engagement session downtown, and we had so much fun with them.
Per usual, you know we LOVE asking our couples lots of questions about their relationship. Chelsea and Russ had SO much to say, but we couldn’t help but smile (and giggle) when we read what their favorite things about each other were. Make sure you read the last part. I’m still smirking.
Chelsea: “My favorite thing about Russ is his patience with me. I am a little (very) high-strung and he always seems to bring me back down to earth. He is honestly the most caring, kind-hearted, respectful, and he will enjoy this, wittiest person I have ever met. Russ is so supportive of me in all things. While getting my MBA, I would stay up late doing work before having to wake up early the next day for work, and he would just pause and tell me just how proud he is of me and that meant more than he could ever know.”
Russ: “My favorite thing about Chelsea is her sense of humor. She loves making people laugh and can do so effortlessly. Unintentionally, Chelsea is also a funny person to watch go about her life. She is clumsy, easily scared and angered, and considers herself a good singer and dancer. It is adorable and she keeps me laughing whether or not she is trying to.”
“^^^^This is Chelsea: I’m not sure how to take this, but he could have said worse!”
Chelsea and Russ are a FUN couple. Just plain and simple. They are the couple EVERYONE wants at their wedding on the dance floor. (And Russ, we can’t wait to see those dance moves at your wedding Chelsea told us about.)
2020 has been HARD and messy, and rude. I said it. 2020 is rude, but I like what Chelsea said in a recent Instagram post: “I can’t wait to marry you on 9/12/20 Russ! Even if it means we’re all dressed up while drinking White Claws in a backyard and sining to a Karaoke machine ***** says that jokingly, but knows that is my dream wedding.”
^^^ Need I say more?! Needless to say, we CANNOT wait for Chelsea and Russ’ wedding NEXT month at Colonial Country Club!
Enjoy!
