The History of The Abbey on Monroe
The Abbey on Monroe is a beautifully restored historic church located in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona. Originally built in the early 1900s, this charming venue has seen its fair share of history, serving as both a place of worship and an iconic Phoenix landmark. The church, with its beautiful stonework and intricate architecture, exudes a sense of timelessness, and it has been beautifully preserved and transformed into a venue for events and weddings.
The venue’s rich history and gorgeous windows, paired with its rustic charm and elegant design, created the perfect backdrop for Kelsey and Jack’s engagement session. It felt like we were stepping into another era—one filled with beauty and romance.
Kelsey’s Classic and Playful Style
Kelsey looked absolutely stunning in her white mini dress with black polka dots. The dress was the perfect blend of playful and classic, giving off vintage vibes while still feeling modern. The sheer gloves added a touch of sophistication and glamour, making her look like she stepped out of a stylish 60s movie. The dress was the perfect choice for The Abbey’s vintage setting, and Kelsey’s natural beauty shone through in every shot.
Jack complemented her effortlessly in a sharp white button-up shirt and black slacks. His look was clean, classic, and refined, and it paired perfectly with Kelsey’s fun and elegant style. The couple looked picture-perfect together, and their chemistry was undeniable.
A Fun, Relaxed End to the Session
Towards the end of their engagement session, we decided to mix things up and add a little fun to the shoot with some playful sunglasses. Kelsey and Jack wore oversized, stylish sunglasses that gave the photos a relaxed, cool vibe while still keeping it classy. These playful accessories brought out their personalities and added a lighthearted energy to the session. It was a fun way to end the shoot and create some memorable, candid moments.
