Ashton & Parker, y’all!
Ashton and Parker’s engagement session at the Memphis Botanic Gardens was such a vibe from start to finish. With dreamy gardens, soft light, and so many hidden corners, it was the perfect spot for a session that felt equal parts romantic and SO much fun. Ashton kicked things off in the cutest brown-toned, floral outfit that brought all the warm, earthy feels. It paired so well with the natural setting and gave everything that effortless, put-together look without trying too hard. Add in Parker’s laid-back style and their easy chemistry, and it all just worked. I mean these two are HOT!
Ashton is the kind of girl you meet and immediately know you want to hang out with her. She’s a girl’s girl, which is the best kind of girl. When I posted sneak peeks I chose the song “Pink Skies” by Zach Bryan to go along with their carousel of photos. Once Ashton saw them she sent me the sweetest, most intimate text that I will keep to myself. That song resonated with her and I chose it unknowingly. I always appreciate when our couples share the complexities with us. It paints another layer that we can love and cherish.
We spent the session exploring, laughing, and capturing those in-between moments that feel the most like them. Nothing overly posed—just real connection, lots of smiles, and a little bit of that just-engaged glow. Halfway through, the couple switched into jeans for a more casual look, and it totally shifted the energy in the best way. It felt relaxed, playful, and a little more everyday—which made those moments even more special.
Memphis Botanic Gardens always shows up, but this session was extra good thanks to these two. It had that perfect mix of stylish and laid-back, romantic and real. Honestly, sessions like this are why we love what we do.
And we’re not done with Ashton and Parker just yet—we’re so excited to photograph their wedding at Hedge Farms this 2026 wedding season! If their engagement session is any hint, it’s going to be such a fun, joy-filled day and we cannot wait to capture it all.
Cheers to the happy couple! We will see you in May!
