The pure joy and connection in these Stillwater engagement portraits is absolutely contagious! We spent a beautiful summer evening at their alma mater, Oklahoma State University. This location holds such special meeting for this duo. It was where they spent their college years. Where they met and dated and spent such an important chapter in their lives.

Stillwater engagement portraits

Oklahoma State University sits on nearly 1,500 acres in Stillwater. We met at iconic Theta Pond to start Apryl and Jonathan’s Stillwater engagement portraits. We found endless locations for portraits, offering variety while remaining meaningful to the couple. I am so jazzed with how these images came out. Looking through them, I can almost hear the giggles and laughs. Their joy shines through so stunningly.

Apryl sent the sweetest text after their session that I just had to share. Always feels so great hearing feedback like this:

“Jonathan and I had so much fun taking pictures with you. It was such a blessing and I cannot stop raving about how wonderful you have been to work with. I can’t express how much it means to me for Jonathan to tell me “It was a lot of fun and very relaxed. Definitely not at all stressful as I thought it was going to be.” Thanks for capturing the sticky-sweetness of our love.”
