Isabel + Jack’s Fall Newfields Engagement Portraits
This lovely pair will be wed next summer at the stunning Newfields. We met up on an unseasonably warm fall day during Newfields harvest fest, so a few pumpkins (or stacks of them) made for a fun backdrop. I really enjoyed getting to chat with them during their session and I can not wait to capture their celebrations next year!

Q+A with the couple:
How did you two meet? – We went to high school together but met first through mutual friends in 7th grade. We had crushes on each other but nothing came of it for a few years until Junior and Senior year where we had a back in forth “high school level” relationship. Then we went off to different colleges but still stayed in touch until finally our senior year Jack decided he was ready to be in a real relationship… and we have been together ever since! 7 years … so you could say the engagement was a long time coming. We are not quite high school sweethearts.. but basically. Our friends and family say they knew we would end up together!
How did he propose? -I thought Jack was playing in a golf tournament so I had plans to go to dinner with my girlfriends and meet up with the guys after they were done with their golf tournament. I met at a friend’s house in the neighborhood for a drink before dinner and then on the way to dinner my friend driving slowed down in front of our house which was on the way to the dinner spot so nothing obvious ….until I noticed my friend driving was tearing up as the car slowed down in front of our house. I got a little suspicious and my friends basically had to kick me out of the car because I was in so much shock. When I finally got out of the car Jack was waiting on the porch with flowers. He then got down on one knee and proposed. Shortly after, both of our parents popped out from behind the house to surprise us and celebrate the engagement with champagne. Then I was told the Altices were having a cookout with just family to celebrate the engagement but when I came around the corner of the back patio all of our friends from Indy and out of town were there to surprise me with a surprise engagement party! Seriously was the best day ever!
Wedding plans? – We are getting married next July at Newfields with our ceremony outside at the Lily Terrace and our reception inside in the Deer Zink Pavillion. We are so excited to celebrate with family and friends next summer!
