Brandt Photography

I’ve known Parker since she was ten years old. She is our youngest daughter’s best friend. We’ve watched her grow up, and participate with the marching band with our daughter, Jennifer. She even worked for me as an image editor and lighting assistant until she joined the air force (it’s kind of hard for her to be our assistant while stationed in Japan).

I was excited to hear that she was engaged. She met Patrick while in stationed in Japan. They both had the chance to come to Tennessee this Christmas on leave. Parker said she just had to have us photograph her engagement session (and wedding, and maternity when they have kids…..). I was truly honored that she called on us.

This past Monday, we met them in Knoxville’s Old City. We had a lot of fun, taking in the architecture of the area. We were also very lucky with the weather! It was a little chilly out, but the sun was out with very few clouds in the sky (this has been the month for rain, so it was nice to see some sun).

One thing I didn’t know before the session was that Patrick had not officially proposed. Unbeknownst to Parker, Patrick already had the ring. He was planning on proposing on New Year’s Eve. So, during the engagement session, took a few photographs of the ring, along with Patrick holding the ring. From what I understand she had no idea! I believe he proposed to her at Disneyland last night.I Leigh and I are really happy for the two of them!

Here are a few more images from their engagement session:
