John and Jaclyn have been together about a year and a half after meeting online and falling head over heels! Their engagement session was a ton of fun. We ended up going to the American Tobacco Campus in Durham. They showed me around and I was blown away by how gorgeous this place was.

The place itself had waterfalls and little streams everywhere, sandwiched between brick and concrete buildings that used to be part of an old tobacco mill. It’s now been converted into restaurants and apartment buildings. It’s so pretty. 

But of course, helping the beauty of the location, was the newly engaged couple. They are just as sweet as can be. I told them at the start of the shoot that I’m all about keeping conversation rolling throughout a shoot. I told them just to talk to each other and try to make each other laugh. Every shot looked as good as the three featured here! They clearly have a certain chemistry that makes them a perfect fit for each other. Best of luck you two! Maybe one day I’ll be photographing some little ones. ;)
