Are you ready for some serious cuteness?
Who knew that golfing could look so stylish and romantic. I sure would have never dreamed up this cute to boot styled engagement session that Tara Parker Photography shared with us.
Kristen and Quentin will be getting married this fall in North Carolina. They actually took their engagement photos at the same place they will be having their wedding. The Devil’s Ridge Golf Course in Holly Springs. Kristen wanted a look and feel that was totally different from their wedding theme. She was aiming for something that oozed vintage flair. I think she nailed it right on the head.

From Tara
The thing that is interesting about this shoot, is that the entire thing was quite affordable to put together. Kristen’s dress, Kristen’s cardigan, Quentin’s socks and both of their hats came from Target and Quentin’s sweater came from Old Navy. I know that a lot of brides feel like they cannot do these fun types of shoots because they can’t afford to style the shoots, but I think this goes to show that you can pull off a themed e-session with a very small investment!
We think so too. We also want to let you know that Kristen did have her hair and makeup professionally done.
