Some engagement sessions feel like a perfect adventure—and Rebecca and Dillan’s session across Memphis was exactly that. With three stunning and distinct locations—Dixon Gardens, Overton Park, and downtown Memphis—we had the opportunity to capture not just their love, but the many sides of their relationship: romantic, playful, timeless, and bold.
We started our session at the ever-gorgeous Dixon Gardens, a peaceful, artful escape tucked away in East Memphis. The morning light was soft and golden, filtering through the trees and dancing across the gardens. Rebecca wore a beautiful, romantic dress that moved with every step, and Dillan looked effortlessly sharp beside her. Surrounded by blooming flowers, winding paths, and the serenity of the garden’s classic southern charm, their love felt right at home. It was quiet, intimate, and full of tenderness—just the way every love story begins.
Next, we headed to Overton Park, where we embraced a more relaxed, joyful vibe. This part of Memphis is full of life and color, and it gave Rebecca and Dillan the chance to let loose and enjoy just being together. Whether they were walking through the wooded paths or laughing on the lawn, their chemistry was undeniable. There’s something special about photographing a couple who knows how to balance genuine affection with carefree fun—and they absolutely nailed it. Every photo was filled with natural smiles, sweet gestures, and the kind of laughter that comes from being totally at ease with your person.
To wrap up the session, we made our way into the heart of the city—downtown Memphis. This part of their shoot brought a sleek, modern energy. Rebecca changed into a stylish white dress that popped perfectly against the urban backdrop, while Dillan brought a cool, classic edge in his suit. We explored the streets together—capturing romantic shots near the cobblestone alleys, dramatic poses beneath the skyline, and tender embraces with the lights of Memphis just beginning to twinkle. The contrast of concrete and love softened by sunset created some of the most striking images of the day.
What made this session so memorable wasn’t just the variety of locations or the incredible backdrops—it was them. Rebecca and Dillan are effortlessly in sync, full of warmth and affection, and their personalities shone through in every frame. They brought energy, elegance, and so much love to the session, making it easy to see why they’re such a perfect match.
This engagement session was a beautiful reminder of what makes Memphis such a great place for love stories—it has everything: nature, history, vibrance, and soul. And with a couple like Rebecca and Dillan in front of the lens, all those elements came together to create something truly timeless.
Rebecca and Dillan—thank you for trusting me to tell this part of your story. I absolutely cannot wait for your wedding day!
