Kylie and Jacob’s Garden Engagement Session

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Kylie and Jacob’s engagement session at the breathtaking Afton Villa Gardens in St. Francisville, Louisiana. The lush gardens, vibrant florals, and timeless beauty of this historic location created a perfect backdrop for this romantic shoot.

A Romantic Engagement Session at Afton Villa Gardens: Capturing Timeless Love

Kylie and Jacob’s love for each other was evident in every frame, their faces radiating joy and affection. As we wandered through the gardens last fall, the couple’s chemistry was palpable, making it easy to capture those candid, intimate moments that truly reflect their connection.

The florals at Afton Villa Gardens were a stunning highlight, with vibrant blooms adding pops of color to each photograph. The combination of lush greenery and meticulously arranged flowers provided a picturesque setting that felt almost magical. It was as if the gardens themselves were celebrating Kylie and Jacob’s love story.

Kylie’s choice of attire added to the overall charm of the shoot. Her beautiful dress choices complemented the romantic atmosphere, and Jacob’s stylish ensemble tied everything together seamlessly. Their outfits, combined with the natural beauty of Afton Villa Gardens, created images that are both timeless and contemporary.

As a wedding photographer who loves blending film and digital photography, this session was a joy to capture. The film photos, with their nostalgic grain and rich textures, added an extra layer of depth and emotion to the collection. Each frame feels like a treasured heirloom, capturing the essence of Kylie and Jacob’s love.

For brides who appreciate vintage charm, pretty and punchy photographs, and beautiful gardens, Afton Villa Gardens offers an idyllic setting for engagement photos. The natural beauty, combined with the historic charm, creates a backdrop that is both enchanting and timeless.

If you’re planning your engagement session or wedding and looking for a photographer who can capture your unique story with authenticity and elegance, I would love to hear from you. Let’s create beautiful, lasting memories together.
