I love that Ann Marie had the idea to go to the library for their engagement photos. These two are avid readers so the setting was perfect! We used the university library on the last day of finals so we were the ONLY people around. We had the whole place to ourselves!
Because these two are going to Key West for their honeymoon!
I can't believe these two are getting married tomorrow! I'm so excited to be documenting their special day. Congratulations Mason and Savannah!
Ann Marie is basically one of my favorite people. I randomly met her several years ago at a Mad Men party and now she's one of my dearest friends. About a year ago she started dating this guy. For so long I only heard about Will when she talked to me about their latest date or adventure, but I'd never actually met him. Shortly after they got engaged I FINALLY met the guy and he's just as awesome as she said. These two are funny and cute together. They make each other laugh and they seem to just genuinely enjoy each other's company. I'm so excited to be shooting their December wedding!
Rachel and Josh have an amazing love story and so much of their story includes camping and nature. I absolutely had to include this in their engagement shoot!
Rachel and Josh met at camp many years ago, but were both dating other people. After graduating college Rachel decided to thru hike the Appalachian Trail with a friend. During the year of planning before she left for the trail she was reunited with Josh and they started dating. Josh, knowing that Rachel would be away from home for six months to hike the trail, was nothing but supportive. He helped her plan for the trip including writing sweet notes for her to read throughout her travels. He flew in to meet her along the trail and they ended up staying at an adorable bed and breakfast.
After six months of hiking the AT, Rachel came home to Josh. Within the month he proposed - while they were out hiking together on a nature trail.
For this session I made a cute pop up tent for the couple to lounge in during our session. We found a pine tree farm and set up camp. Our little handmade tent was set up on a quilt that belongs to Rachel's grandmother. The two of them laughed and cuddled the entire time.
In less than a month Rachel and Josh are getting married this summer at the very same bed and breakfast they stayed in along the Appalachian Trial.
I love this photo. Of course I love it because of the people in it, but I also love it because of where it's taken. Last June I was invited to shoot a wedding that took place on family property. The place I liked best on the property was this driveway with these amazing trees that meet in the middle. Who doesn't love a road with trees that arch over it? Everyone loves that.
I took a photo of the bride and groom on this driveway and it was pretty universally the favorite photo. The couple and their family and friends loved that one on the driveway. This driveway connects the property from that wedding and the property of the groom's cousin. Months later the groom's cousin Mallory (photographed above) contacted me to take engagement photos of her and her fiance Joseph. We took photos in several places, but the one place their requested was this driveway connecting the family homes.
