Jojo & Stephen | Third Ward and Downtown Engagement Photography

I could write a lot of pretty thoughts (all correct) and craft many beautiful sentences (all true) about Stephen and Jojo. I could tell you about their rather “meant to be” first meeting at a social scene downtown, or about how she moved to New York not a week after meeting him and about how that long distance start to a love story turned out to be all sweet with no bitter. About how they met each other’s families early on and about how they just really, really like each other. But there’s the rub: all of the details vie for importance and precedent, they all want to be THE thing that defines Jojo + Stephen. But the thing that defines them is   more ineffable. It is a feeling, an air, a certainty when in their presence that these are pretty great on their own and together, well…

they are rather intoxicating.

So with the sun kissing their skin and their smiles commanding attention, that intoxicating love became the subject of our little engagement session together. We walked through their neighborhood and moseyed to  that bar where they first met, an unlikely place for everything in one’s world to fall into place, but THE place nonetheless.
