We love our traditional ladies dressed in their whites and ivories, but the beautiful thing about Fine Art brides is that they don't always follow the most common path. In pursuit of what truly spoke to Jennifer and Parker as a couple, they decided to dress in their best and head outdoors for a formal, yet casual engagement session.

From Allison Kuhn Photography: "Jennifer and Parker are getting married October 2015. After being set up by friends, they both knew shortly after dating that they would be married some day.

Her black gown and Parker's tux truly popped on the simple backgrounds."
