Jacqui and Chris have been together for six years. It started out with a little hesitation, then turned into a little like. After there was a bit of like, it slowly became a bit of love. And now, after six years of school, moving to different states, different jobs, and all the ups and downs of life, that little bit of love? Safe to say it’s turned into head over heels, no doubt about it, can’t imagine my life without you love.
Jacqui and Lutz have been together for almost sixteen years. Over countless jumps, through many competitions, and tons of days at the barn together, Lutz has been her partner for more than half her life. So Chris knew that when the time came to ask Jacqui to be his wife, he needed to include the other handsome fellow in her life. He got to the barn early on a chilly winter morning with flowers and champagne, tied the ring box to Lutz neck and waited… And that chilly winter morning? Safe to say it’s a morning that neither of them will forget anytime soon.
The morning they decided to become forever.
Engaged: Jacqui & Chris
When these two told me about the proposal and Jacqui mentioned taking some pictures with Lutz for their engagement session, I knew it was going to be awesome!! The day we had scheduled the shoot, it had been absolutely pouring rain all morning. But it seemed to be clearing up in the evening, so we headed out to the barn in hopes of good weather. And boy did we get it! Sure, it was a lot colder than we might have wanted (even though it doesn’t look like it, that wind was COLD). But the light was awesome :) Jacqui and Chris, thanks for such a fun evening together, and for sticking it out in the chilly weather!! I had a blast hanging out with you guys and meeting Lutz. Even though he didn’t always cooperate, I’ll still feed him sugar cubes any time ;) Can’t wait for your wedding in September!!
Ahh these are beautiful! Love it!! Great job Carissa!!!

Carrissa,
I’ve had the pleasure of viewing ALL the photos! I am SO pleased with ALL the backgrounds you incorporated. Of course I think the “subject matter” is/was the BEST! Thank you for the WONDERFUL moments you so BEAUTIFULLy captured. I can hardly wait to see the lovely shots you will capture at Jacqui and Chris’s wedding.
In much appreciation, Ellen Kidwell
Beautiful! Photos and subjects. It looks like this came pretty naturally to Chris and Jacqui, and Carissa was an amazing photographer to catch the moments. Love it!
Jacqui, you look absolutely beautiful, and Chris you look very handsome (Lutz, you too). The photos really capture the love you have for each other. I like the variety of pictures and that you chose to include Lutz!
These are beautiful and Jacqui you look stunning!! Can’t wait for your beautiful day!
The beginning of their story- breath taking…I had to reread twice.
The pictures are beautiful of all three of them! Congratulations and here’s to
a beautiful upcoming wedding in September!
