Nelson Art Museum Engagement | M+J

Madison + Jordan

Madison + Jordan had a dream engagement session at the Nelson Art Museum. What better location than this? It’s been awhile since I’ve shot here and honestly I’m not sure why! It is crazy beautiful. Just little Madisons smile! They are so adorabe.

The Nelson Art Museum is perfect for Engagement Sessions. The grounds are well kept, open spaces, textures, paths and let’s not forget about the columns!

It was such a rainy week and the clouds where making sunset a little darker then the ideal setting. Luckily it came out and the wind was manageable. The Nelson Art Museum also had nice wind breakers when it came from hiding from the wind.

Madison + Jordan are planning a fall wedding for 2022 and I couldn’t be more excited. They nailed their engagement session! I just can’t wait to see what we will capture the day of.

-Words from The Bride To Be-

How did you two meet?!

“We met at the beginning of our senior year of high school when I started working at Michael’s. He had a girlfriend at the time so we we’re definitely friends first. I moved away for a few months after high school and came back. We started hanging out more and eventually became “official.” We just celebrated our 6 year dating anniversary on May 4!”

How long have you been engaged and how did he propose?!

“We got engaged in June. Just at home. No big elaborate proposal story. We both wanted it to be low key and at home.”
