Jojo and Clyde’s modern and sexy engagement shoot had a vintage vibe with a classic car and a laid-back in-studio portrait session that perfectly captured the fun-loving couple leading up to their summer wedding.
After meeting in elementary school (we totally said awwwww too!), the couple reconnected after college. When the timing was right, Clyde popped the question making sure their closest family and friends were there to witness the unforgettable moment.
Photographed by Muna Coterie member, Shagari Gerard Photography, we loved seeing these two booed up in and out of the studio, especially with Clyde flexing his vintage ride and JoJo serving looks with her It Girl style.

From playground pals to fiances…
We met in the 4th grade at Brownsfield Elementary School in Baton Rouge. We were childhood friends, childhood sweethearts who reconnected after college. Clyde proposed at our housewarming party in front of all of our family and friends.
What was your engagement theme?
We didn’t have a theme besides love. The engagement session was an awesome experience. We just wanted classic studio laid-back portraits and to include his classic car outdoors. Sort of an on-the-run vibe with a Baton Rouge feel. We felt so at home and comfortable. We were able to be ourselves with our photographer and just be us, throughout the shoot.
Their first date…
You know how the internet is literally on fire about not accepting this or not accepting that for a first date? We literally went to Chili’s for our first date and here we are.
What’s your favorite thing to do as a couple?
We love to eat and have fun together and that could be sitting around watching TV to riding four-wheelers.
Wedding planning so far…
Wedding planning has been easy. We have an amazing wedding planner that we trust
completely so it has been so chill.
They’re looking forward to…
Seeing all of our favorite people in one place at one time and being able to celebrate our love.
