Thomas & Jenn: Engagement Session | Medora, ND

Medora Engagement Photographer: Brittany Schnell

Jenn and Thomas have an incredible engagement story. Let me tell you!

The couple was on a hike, a long hike, when they noticed a shed elk antler. Elk antlers are a pretty rare find, so Jenn was extremely excited. At further inspection, Jenn found, “Will you marry me?” Engraved into the side. When she turned around, Thomas was on one knee, ring in hand. 

I’m so excited for this dynamic duo to spend forever together!

Love Letters

Jenn has been praying for her husband. Ever since she was 19, she has been writing him letters and praying over him. She would start the letters, “Dear You,” and end them with “Love, Me -Song of Songs 8:6-7” She’s been saving every letter to one day give to her husband. Thomas didn’t know.

When asked about her prayer, Jenn said

“Always. I would always pray (for my future husband). It was my hearts cry to God. I would write out prayers to my future husband in the letters. Prayers to give him strength, keep him safe, give him peace and I would pray that I would be able to love him like that scripture says.” 

“Thomas is absolutely an answer to prayer.”

I’m not crying. You’re not crying. 

Ok, we are crying. 

Jenn shared the letters with Thomas, her future husband!! The moving scene took place at painted canyon. Jenn cried. Thomas cried. I cried. All happy tears.

Custom Bridal Jacket

Jenn’s custom bridal jacket tied in her letters. She asked for “Song of Songs 8:6-7” (her closing verse in the letters) to be on the back. My addition to the jacket is “Dear You,” on her left sleeve and “Love, Me” on her right hip. It’s my favorite bridal jacket to date!!

The couple asked for tasteful photos with their dogs and hunting gear. Hunting is a big deal for these two- fueled by nature! I love seeing posts of these puppies with their hunt harvest on my Facebook timeline!

Thank you, Jenn & Thomas for trusting me with your engagement photos! I cannot wait to celebrate your love next year!
