I had the pleasure of spending a gorgeous evening on Georgia Tech's campus with Meredith and Michael. We retraced their steps of how their love story began and hit all the meaningful hot-spots on campus. Meredith and Michael met at orientation and ended up in the same dorm and a few classes together. After a few months, they were "official". Gotta love a Georgia Tech love story that begins right from the start at FASET! When I asked Meredith if she had any specific shots in mind she said, "No, I just want these pictures to show how happy and in love we are. Because we are!". And in that moment I fell in love with these two. They're literally almost giddy with each other and I had a blast capturing this exciting time in their lives. Meredith and Michael - thank you for making the trip from North Carolina for your engagement session! I hope you love these as much as I do!

I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Karlee and Kyle at Winn Park for their engagement session last week! Since Kyle arranged to have the proposal photographed, they had some experience in front of the camera. These two have also been together for a long time so their easy laughter and comfort with each other made my job a breeze! With the afternoon heat index of about 95+ degrees out, we decided it would be best to start in the morning to beat the heat! Unfortunately that meant Kyle had to leave his night shift as a nurse, run home and shower, and head back into town to smile for the camera! Do I have the best clients ever or what?! Kyle and Karlee were both troopers as we dodged spider webs and rain showers to capture these images... and I would say they are worth it! Can't wait for October!!

The weather held off in time for me to photograph Britta and Hoyt's engagement session at the beautiful Cator Woolford Gardens! These two both claimed to not LOVE taking pictures but they were absolute naturals... especially when it was time to raise a glass and toast to checking an item off the wedding planning to-do list!! When life and work get busy it can be hard to make time to knock out wedding plans and schedule an engagement session and I'm so thankful these two were able to take off work to capture these AND that they have one of my FAVORITES, Kathleen of Almost Wed, helping Britta and Hoyt create the wedding of their dreams! Britta and Hoyt- thank you so much for taking time from your busy schedules to capture these images (especially in the heat and humidity)! I cannot WAIT for March!

When one of my couples asks if I would be ok traveling to Charleston for their engagement session, it takes less than a second for me to respond YES!!! I absolutely love this beautiful, southern town and all its charm and capturing a sweet couple there is icing on the cake! Arista and Jeff were traveling there for a wedding and thought it could be the perfect backdrop to their engagement pictures and I'd say they were spot on. The only thing missing was their cute pup, Murphy! We met at the White Point Gardens which was soon overrun by school children, but while we walked under the oak trees dodging kids, a sweet little girl stopped Arista to tell her how pretty she was! It was so precious and this little girl was absolutely right! These two were dressed to fit the part of a beautiful southern couple in the Holy City and I loved exploring the many picturesque nooks and crannies of the downtown areas.  Arista and Jeff are so comfortable with each other and they made my job so easy! Since we used this trip as an excuse for a workcation/babymoon, Morgan tagged along as my pack mule/car lookout. We all had so much fun I was sad they had to leave for wedding festivities! Thankfully they live nearby and puppy play dates are in our future. Arista and Jeff - thank you so much for giving me a wonderful reason to visit one of my favorite places. You guys are the best!!

Being a part of a proposal is like keeping the best secret ever and getting to capture the surprise is the cherry on top. It was important to Hunter to have this proposal happen on their 5 year dating anniversary... what a way to celebrate, right?! However, it meant juggling lots of logistics since it would mean coordinating work schedules and beating the clock on sunset as it was a Friday. We chatted back and forth about the best way to make this night one they would remember forever. When the day came, Hunter was so excited and a bundle of nerves as he just wanted to make it all perfect. We met up at Ray's on the River to plot it out and Hunter left to pick up Brittney... leaving me to sit and stew about how I could blend in and not draw attention to myself! Thankfully when I saw them heading my way, Brittney stopped to take a picture of the sunset over the river and I realized she was definitely not going to pay any attention to me... especially if I was "on the phone" when they walked by. My heart was racing as I saw Hunter reaching into his jacket pocket for the ring and my cheeks hurt from smiling as Brittney's reaction was just so perfect. After the realization set in that she was getting married, Hunter pointed me out - I had successfully remained camouflaged and unseen! We then took a few additional portraits before the sun went down and they got to toast their big news over dinner and later with their families. I absolutely adore these two and am so thankful I was able to be a part of this special moment for Hunter and Brittney!!
