Jenna Ohlendorf & Craton Simpson

October 31, 2020

Although Jenna and Craton were friends during their high school years, it wasn’t until they both attended the College of Charleston that Jenna finally accepted one of Craton’s many requests for a date. The couple parted ways after graduation, but reunited later when they both returned to the Holy City. One hot July evening as he was picking up Jenna for a dinner date downtown, Craton got down on one knee and proposed in front of Jenna’s childhood home. The couple married on Halloween at the Georgia State Railroad Museum in Savannah, followed by a reception in the museum’s Roundhouse, before returning home to Charleston.

Here’s the thing: Charleston’s in the tropics, more or less. And here in the jungle, it rains from time to time, which can put a damper on a portrait sesh out and about if you don’t plan well. The...

Ok, people. Yes, you’re gonna love Jesse and Will’s wedding photos (al fresco reception in the Old Village? Yes, please!). But their proposal story? It might even beat the pretty out for best in show...

Lindsey and José didn’t start off on the right foot (he didn’t do a double-take when he first met her at Boston College, so she gave him the same indifferent treatment, and sparks didn’t fly for...
