Their story goes way back to Lenoir City High School when Doug transferred in following his freshman year. They met in an agriculture class they both took. After their graduation, by act of providence, Doug & Jessy would find themselves working together at a local feed store. And leave it up to Doug’s parents, Rebecca & Mark, to plant the seed as they would always tell Jessy that she needed to “drag Doug out of the house” one weekend. He took the hint & eventually asked her out on a date on April 27, 2006… they’ve been together since.
With his sense of humor & her beautiful smile, they make a great couple. And their interests are the same as well. Doug lives on his family’s farm & together they raise sheep. It doesn’t hurt, either, that Jessy is a lecturer at the University of Tennessee in the Department of Animal Science, so they know exactly what they’re doing.
Not too long ago, Jessy was greeting at her car by their Weimeraner, Lucy, who was wearing a pink bandana. Lucy jumped in her lap as she opened the door & Jessy noticed a beautiful ring tied to Lucy’s collar. Doug came to the car, got down on one knee, & asked her to marry him. She said ‘yes,’ of course!
And, of course, we decided to do their engagement photos on Doug’s family’s farm. It was unreal!
Yes!
I think they’ll love this one!
Lucy was the perfect companion for the shoot… I was secretly hoping they’d ask me to take her home!
I can’t wait til your wedding Doug & Jessy! Thanks so much for the opportunity to share this time with you… enjoy!
