I had the extreme pleasure of traveling to Oxford, MS this past weekend for a very special engagement shoot. I had to risk life and limb to get out of Memphis, since we had just been hit with an ice storm and the roads were a bit slippery. It actually wasn’t that much of a risk, other than sliding down my driveway sideways!

Oxford is the cutest little town, and a photographer’s dream. And NOT covered in ice. Visitors should definitely check out the square, and eat at the original Old Venice. Be sure to get the crawfish rolls and the Chicken Tuscany pizza. Yum. Seriously. Double yum.

Todd and Andrea met in Oxford while attending school at Ole Miss, so they wanted their engagement shoot to represent that part of their life together. We started at Rowan Oak, the home of the great William Faulkner. They are the most adorable couple. Ever. Don’t believe me? Just look…

You can see a bit of the house in the background of this one.

The light filtering through the trees was divine. And so was the moss covered brick walk. Yum!

They were truly happy to be around each other. Smiles were easy to come by.

But it’s the little offhanded moments that I love so much!

After we’d had our fill of the grounds, we ventured on to the square, for a few urban shots. The square was full of perfect photo possibilities, and we tried to capture them all.

How great is this old phone booth??

We almost passed this yummy stairwell. And right around the corner? Iron tables and chairs!

The shops along the square provided the perfect little nook for a quick kiss.

Don’t even get me started on the many little alleyways. Andrea is a natural in front of the camera. My job was so easy!

It wouldn’t be a square if the courthouse wasn’t in the middle, right?

My favorite shot of the day. Andrea, you are model material, girl. The love between these two was so obvious and beautiful.

Todd and Andrea, thank you so much for letting me capture your love! I truly enjoyed my stay in Oxford. I would wish you luck, but you don’t need it. Cheers!
