Timeless Beach Engagement by JJ Horton Photography

Today's coastal engagement session is stealing our hearts! From the abundance of natural beauty to the couple's classic style, Ryan and Jessica gave JJ Horton Photography some incredible shots! The precious duo are native to Texas, but having photographed Jessica's brother a few years ago on the NC coast, they decided to have a destination wedding there, too. They came out for some vendor appointments and scheduled their engagement session during that time. Their simple, sweet session on the dunes and by the sea is one of our favorites!

So why take engagement photos, in the first place? Besides making a special memory with your fiancé, engagement sessions are the perfect opportunity to get to know your wedding photographer, become comfortable in front of their lens and understand their style. Most photographers include an engagement session in their wedding photography packages for this very reason! You can also submit a photo to your local paper with your engagement announcement, use them creatively in your save-the-dates, wedding day décor, and guestbook, or give framed prints as gifts to your families.
