About the Couple
Trevor and Alice met while attending Upper St. Clair High School. Trevor played football and Alice was a cheerleader, so it was a classic high school sweetheart story. They were introduced by a mutual friend during homecoming season in Alice’s junior year and Trevor’s senior year, and they have been together ever since.
Trevor proposed Diamond Cross Ranch in Jackson, Wyoming. Alice was working in California as a travel nurse, and had decided to take a job closer to home. Trevor had flown out to CA to help with the drive back home, and they decided to make a pit stop in Jackson, a mountain town that holds an extremely special place in their hearts. That morning, Trevor made reservations at one of their favorite breakfast restaurants, and informed Alice that they were going to celebrate her birthday a few days late with a picnic at Diamond Cross. When they pulled up to the incredible property nestled at the base of the Grand Teton Mountains, it looked like a scene out of a movie. The owners had set up the most stunning bonfire with charcuterie and champagne. Before Alice could even fully take in the gorgeous setup, she turned to see Trevor on his knee. They toasted with the owners and a surprise photographer before making their rounds of FaceTime calls to family and friends.
About the Session
This session took place inside the Washington County Courthouse and really highlighted the ornate architecture of the building. As a student at Washington & Jefferson University just down the street from the courthouse, Trevor had walked by many times admiring the building’s beauty. The vision centered around a timeless look mixed with a modern champagne vibe. With velvet blue heels and a white satin dress, Alice pulled off a “something blue” bridal look while Trevor’s classic grey suit was on par with traditional groom attire. Blissfully Bri Photography perfectly curated the vintage vibe the couple was after with detailed use of grain and flash photography. She captured the ambience by masterfully blending modern and vintage. The champagne was popped between kisses and giggles for the most perfect afternoon capturing the essence of their love.
