Grand Tetons Surprise Proposal

Josh found me on Instagram a few months before he and Monica would be traveling through the Rocky Mountains! They had a few stops along the way including Jackson, Wyoming for the Grand Tetons and Island Park for Yellowstone. I was excited since they were coming all the way from Texas! They also were camping throughout their stops in October!

Josh had been to Jackson multiple times before this trip, but it was Monica’s first time! Josh was showing her all the cool things in Jackson and how amazing and beautiful the Tetons were! Josh took me to even a few new spots I hadn’t been before. I think that’s one of my favorite things is when clients pick out a location that means something to them.

Towards the end of the session Josh asked that we head to Jenny Lake. It’d been a while since I had been to Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. I decided to follow Josh and Monica into the park. Monica and Josh were both amazing sports for smiling and going with my crazy prompts. I asked as we were finishing up if they had any other poses they’d like to try and Josh said, “I have one. Are you ready?”

I said, “Sure, what are you thinking?”

Right then Josh got down on one knee and told Monica his feelings for her and asked her to marry him! Monica said yes! I was so excited and completely surprised! I had no idea Josh was planning on proposing and he kept his cool the entire time! Their session will be always be on of my favorites for the surprise proposal and I love shooting couples from out of state! The clouds parted just in time for us to see the Grand Tetons! All around a session to remember!

Winter Woods Engagements • Idaho Falls

I met Courtney at the best Birthday party. My friend Brittny had planned the coolest Harry Potter themed party for Tanner. It. was a scavenger hunt and there were clues all throughout Rigby that relate to Harry Potter. Courtney I were on the same team and bonded over a 2 hour car ride in Rigby. She’s got the sense of humor I love and carefree spirit that aspire to have.

Courtney is actually Brittny’s sister. You may remember seeing Brittny and Tanner’s Engagements or their Pocatello bridals a few years back. As soon as Courtney and Brad were engaged I knew I had to get them in front of my camera!

Courtney and Brad met me up in Idaho Falls at one of my favorite pine tree locations. Neither of them ever blinked at the cheesy things I asked them to do. Anyone who’s had a session with me knows I ask my couples to do some odd things during their session which turn out to be the cutest smiles and laughs from the session. Try scrolling through their images and not smiling. Their smiles are so contagious! For being 24º, I’d say they rocked it!

I’m so excited for these two to seal the deal in January in Utah! Enjoy my all time favorites in the woods!

Rexburg Mountain Engagement Session

It’s been insanely busy over here at JayCee Photography! I’m trying my best to catch up on some blogging when I get the chance. Lindsey found me through Instagram just a few weeks ago. When she contacted me, she told me she wanted a little more of that mountain look, but was on a time crunch. We decided on these Rexburg mountains for their engagement session!

I met both Austin and Lindsey at our location. The first thing I noticed was how giddy and happy Austin and Lindsey were to be around each other. Before even lifting up my camera, they were laughing and giggling together. It was so fun seeing that chemistry and love between them in just the first few seconds. We ended the session on a cliff that I love shooting on! And Lindsey and Austin’s outfits totally made the session!
