Brittany + Jesse’s Memphis engagement photos are some of our favorite!
Would you believe me if I told you that Brittany and Jesse’s story began with a brownie? YES, you heard that correctly. It all started with a brownie. I asked Brittany + Jesse how they met, and I LOVE the way Jesse told his side of the story.
Jesse: “I first saw Brittany from across the 3rd floor in the library while I was studying. I was in a room with a few other people & I asked them if they knew her. One girl said yes & explained to me that Brittany was a Sophomore Chi O. The next thing I said was that she was gorgeous & that I was going to marry her. I really needed an excuse to go up & talk to her because I was too nervous to just go up and try and generate a conversation out of thin air. The people in the room came up with a bet, which I ended up losing so I had to go up and offer her a brownie. I nervously approached her, introduced myself, and then offered her my brownie. She declined quickly and I️ told her to have a good night. Almost 3 years later we are well on our way to spending the rest of our lives together.”
Brittany may have declined the brownie, but little did she know she would quickly be reintroduced to Jesse again.
Brittany: “Jesse and I met in college at Union in Jackson, TN. Jesse first saw me in the library, in which he came up and offered me a brownie (first thought- “Why is some weird guy interrupting me and offering me food.) Without any more though of him, I continued studying and moved on with my day. A few days later, I find out my sorority intramural softball team was getting a coach (WHAT? Why would the lowest team need a coach, I mean there was no hope for us anyway). Come to find out, Jesse coached our team, and even schedule practices with the help of my friends. Although it took awhile for me to come around, and a few missed baseballs, we have been together now for 3 years and are so glad everything fell into place the way it did!”
Brownies and baseball is all it took for these two sweet souls to find each other.
We had so much fun hanging out with Brittany and Jesse at their engagement session at Overton Park. These two are so natural together, and you can really tell they are best friends. We love that about them. One of our favorite things about Brittany and Jesse’s relationship is how they just giggle together. Not only is it a sign of happiness, it’s a sign of comfort knowing you’re in the arms of someone who is happy to have you.
We get to photograph Brittany and Jesse’s wedding THIS weekend at White Oak Farms and we’re flipping ECSTATIC! You guys enjoy!
