Luke and Jenna aren’t just any Clemson Tigers. They were THE Clemson Tigers. As in they were the ones in the Tiger and Cub costumes at the football games.
I always love working with Clemson couples. My husband and I met while we were Clemson freshmen and we got married there, and over the years, I’ve enjoyed hearing other Clemson couples’ stories about how they met and what memories they share there together. Luke said that he wanted to propose along the dikes at Lake Hartwell because he and Jenna used to go running there together. Even though I’d been to the rowing center many times as a student, I apparently had never actually been to the dikes. It’s a bit of a steep walk from the parking lot, but there’s a beautiful view of Lake Hartwell on the other side. When I found the spot that I thought would work best for spacing and lighting, I texted Luke a photo, and then pretended I was just taking pictures of the pretty lake on a nice day.
The day that Luke proposed was a beautiful spring day, the day before Easter. He told Jenna that they would meet one of his former professors at Clemson for lunch, and since it was a nice day, they could walk along the dikes. He stopped at the spot I’d sent him a picture of and proposed! Jenna was so caught off guard, and even though she said “yes,” she also kept saying “I’m so confused!” Luke said that he had schemed with Jenna’s sister to figure out what kind of ring Jenna would like, and Jenna couldn’t get over how beautiful it was.
After we took some photos at the lake, we went down to the football stadium. They both mentioned wanting photos with the cub statue at the back of the stadium. We also got some photos at Tiger Walk, which was still pretty new, and gave us a cool view of the back of the stadium. There happened to be some purple flowers next to Tiger Walk that made for a great spot to take photos of all of their rings.
Enjoy some of my favorites from Jenna and Luke’s engagement session at Clemson!
