Dustin & Emma {Proposal}

Dustin is a good friend of my little family. He's in our community group, and over the past couple of years, we've had the blessing of watching him grow in the Lord. During this time, he started dating Emma. It was pretty obvious from day one that these two would one day tie the knot. He messaged me back in May about his plans to propose to Emma. I was immediately on board. Shooting proposals is one of my favorite types of sessions. I always get just as nervous as the groom, but just as excited as the bride to be. They are always such a joy to capture.

Dustin and Emma went to the Peabody roof top on their first date, so the beautiful view had a sentimental meaning to them both. As the day drew near, the rain came pouring in. Just hours before the set time, clear skies were no where to be found. Husband and I arrived early to scout a new location inside the Peabody. Thankfully, we found a beautiful ballroom available, but it still wasn't as special as the roof would have been. About ten minutes before they were set to arrive, I decided to check the radar one last time. Low and behold, NO RAIN!! I quickly rain outside, looked up, and gasped at the beautiful sunset. We quickly sent a text to Dustin telling him the original game plan was back on and hurried to the roof. I had just a few minutes to capture the scene, set up their journal (it contained letters they've written back and forth while dating & dustin's letter to Emma proposing), and even snapped a photo of them crossing the street. There wasn't a soul on the roof when he popped the big question. It was quiet, romantic, and absolutely beautiful. Dustin, all your planning paid off. Everything was perfect!

Thank you Dustin for asking me to capture this precious, joyous time in y'alls lives. Emma, you're going to make one beautiful bride! CONGRATULATIONS!!!





























^^ I caught of a glimpse of this as I finished photographing the date. I chuckled and knew it had to be shared! It was all worth it right, Emma? Haha.

Chase & Katelyn {PROPOSAL}

Last night, Josh and I got to help one of our dear friends, Chase, propose to his girlfriend, Katelyn. I love being apart of engagements, although, I don't think my nerves handle it very well. Josh and I spread the roses and this one goose almost ate them all. Not really, but he would not leave. I almost had a heart attack from anxiety waiting in the car for him to pop the question.

Chase took Katelyn to eat, and then came up with an excuse to visit a local park. They always come to this park to feed the ducks, so it was not unusual for Katelyn. He proposed on a beautiful bridge with roses after feeding the ducks. She was totally surprised, and it was the sweetest moment. After, he had all her friends and family waiting for her at a party! Smart fella!

Congrats you guys! Thank you Chase for asking us to be apart of this special time. I told myself I was only going to post a few, but that didn't work out so well. Enjoy:)

Here they come: EEK!
