Kelly and Stephen are the epitome of a love-next-door fairy-tale. Growing up, they not only lived down the street from one another during their middle and high school years, but their parents were also great friends. After spending endless summers together (including trips to Yankee Stadium) Kelly and Stephen’s friendship evolved into romance. While the two are enjoying the road to their happily-ever-after, they took a moment to capture their engagement with the help of Jessica Lauren Photography. The chemistry that this couple shares is evident throughout each photograph taken. Kelly and Stephen’s e-session began at the intersection of where their streets meet, continued at the local fire department, and concluded at a quaint field that provided a stunning backdrop for rustic images. Thank you Jessica Urzua of Jessica Lauren Photography for sharing this beautiful engagement shoot with us! Don’t forget to become a fan of Jessica Lauren Photography on Facebook to get your daily dose of stunning wedding and engagement photography!
