Madison is just magical…the town is full of southern charm and history. Tripp grew up in Madison and lived across the street from the Thurleston House—so to get to photograph his engagement session at an area that was special to him and was a part of his story was pretty incredible!
The Thurleston House is a 202 year old antebellum home and sits quietly off the street with a vista of boxwoods drawing your eye to the house. The home is nestled among 35 acres of beautifully tended gardens, and has been home to five different families over the course of the past two centuries. It has been the site for several films and was also visited by First Lady Laura Bush. It’s a location that is yearly visited on the Madison tour of homes, and was truly a special and unique location that the owners (and Tripp’s neighbors) graciously allowed us to use for their engagement session!
Tripp and his beautiful fiancé, Casey, met while in college at Valdosta. In October, Tripp surprised Casey with a gorgeous ring and even had their families there to celebrate! Tripp’s mom, Chasity, is not only a friend of mine but an amazing wedding coordinator that I LOVE working with—so I was thrilled to get to capture this special time for her son (and y’all—she’s crazy about her future daughter-in-law!! She brags on how wonderful Casey is every time I see her!) She’s right, because Casey was an absolute sweetheart! She was so genuine and kind, and her eyes lit up every time she smiled at Tripp. We had a great time exploring the estate and stopping for photos.
I’m SO excited to work with this sweet couple and capture this time for them! I can’t wait for their October wedding! Casey and Tripp, congratulations on your engagement and I hope you enjoy this special time of engagement and wedding planning!
