Ellen & Christian | The Edge | Lynchburg Virginia Engagement

This engagement blog will actually be two parts and I'll explain why. I know Christian and Ellen through the martial arts gym I go to, The Edge. Super fun couple! They are both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belts and incredibly skilled in Muay Thai as well, so naturally we had to bring those elements into their engagement photos. We had to split their session to two different days due to rain, one indoor location and one outdoor. They wanted to do some photos inside the edge which is where they met and also where Christian proposed. Best. Idea. Ever. They turned out so unique! 

Brittany & Trevor || Evington Virginia Engagement

These two were so much fun to work with this past weekend! We did the session on their 20 acre farm out in Evington, VA that was home to Trevors Grandparents. The wind was BITTER but the light was awesome so that made up for it! Also, their pooch Layla did her part to warm our hearts ;)

Cant wait for their wedding next December!

How did you guys meet/start talking?

B- We actually knew of each other in middle school.. but after middle school my family moved to NH. After HS, a move back to VA and a few years we became friends on Facebook and began talking through that and decided to meet up in person and hang out!

T- She messaged me on Facebook and we started hanging out.

How long have you two been together?

B - 6 years

T - Forever

When/where was your first date?

B - Our first official date was floating the James river with his brother and dad. We had hung out before but not in a date fashion!

T - On the James river.

What are some things you like to do together?

B - We like to have fun outside - go fishing, four wheeling, floating the river. We also like to watch movies, play with our dog and be with family!

T- I don’t know, lots of stuff. We go fishing.

What are somethings you each love about the other person?

B- He is determined and goal oriented. He has an amazing smile and makes me laugh lots! Most importantly he understands me, supports me and pushes me to be the best I can be!

T - I don’t know when. Just kind of happened.

When/how did you guys get engaged?

B- we got engaged on the day we moved into our house (his grandparents house). It was at the end of moving day after all our moving help left. He said I want to make this house official with you, I want to make this house a home with you and that he wouldn’t feel right without asking me.. Will you marry me?... of course I said YES!!!!

T- Our first night in our new house.

Nate & Bailey

I have been way behind on blogging lately, so what better way to get back at it then with these two! I just love them! Everytime I do a session with them there are laughs all around. Nate and Bailey just celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. I was there to capture the moment they both said I do and it has been my pleasure to photograph three of their four anniversary's together as well, You can tell that these two adore each other. Look at how cute they are!
