Demi & Chance | Engagement Session | Charlotte, North Carolina
The story of Demi and Chance began in High school, but, and some would say more importantly, the story of Demi and Kelsey began 3 years ago in an abandoned field in Lynchburg, Virginia. I realize that sounds sketchy but it's not. I was taking photos for my sister and brother-in-law to announce their pregnancy and Demi was completing a senior session. We brought too much confetti to handle so we recruited Demi and she showed her confetti throwing skills like a boss.

From there we started running into each other all over town and connected over photography, healthcare, and dogs. She even babysat #ourdoghenry and then got a sweet Schnoodle of her own. Fast forward to last August when Nate and I moved to Charlotte, then Chance did (for his own job, not because of us) and then Demi eventually moved as well. You see where this is going, right? We call this friendship fate and we're okay with it. Plus, it meant that I got to celebrate with Demi in person after their engagement this Spring!
It also meant that I had the incredible honor of photographing their engagement session at Champagne Manor. A seriously beautiful venue located in Monroe -- the outskirts of Charlotte. The weather was perfect, they were perfect, and their dog Winston was perfect which means these photos are perfect. So what're you waiting for?! Take a look! We're so excited for you Demi and Chance and I can't wait to stand next to you as a bridesmaid and celebrate your wedding this year!!
Tia & Aaron | Blue Ridge Mountains | Charlottesville, Virginia
This session fits perfectly with the current themes of photography season, past roommates getting engaged, and just pure gorgeousness. Tia was my roommate in Virginia after Ana was and is also getting married this Fall!

For engagement sessions, we love to ask couples if there’s a place that’s special to them or somewhere they’ve always dreamed about taking their photos. Tia & Aaron knew right where they wanted their photos taken – in the blue ridge mountains on the Appalachian Trail. We drove for a bit and then hiked for a little – apparently I will do anything for photos – and came to a gorgeous clearing where they made magic happen. Also the Sound of Music happened in real time.
Ana & Aaron | Engagement Session | Wilmington, Delaware
I moved to Virginia for my masters in 2011 and over the course of my 18 month stay, I had two roommates who I love dearly. If you fast forward 6 years to now you'd see that BOTH of them are getting married this year! Which means double the wedding fun because we get the honor of not only attending but capturing their celebrations. It also means we get extra hang out time in the form of an engagement session.

On our way to a New York wedding at the beginning of June, we stopped in Wilmington, Delaware for Ana & Aaron’s engagement session by one place I will never say no to shooting at – the water. With an awesome mix of downtown vibes and a waterfront park, magic was created. We love you Ana & Aaron and we’re so excited to be at your wedding in the Fall!

So to say we’re excited for this weekend is a little bit of an understatement. I don’t think we can ever express how utterly and completely honored and humbled we are that couples would allow us to be part of such a intimate and celebratory time in their lives. And if you made it through that run-on sentence, you’re going to love the photos below.
This sweet couple let us capture their love under the glow of the Charlottesville sun and it was perfection. Jobi, we can’t wait for your wedding this weekend!!
