amy & donny are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 5 Comments

amy & donny are academics- so brilliant that you should totally be intimidated by them- but somehow, they are also so warm and full of laughter that you immediately feel comfortable hanging out together and sharing a meal! i don’t know many super-geniuses that i can say that about. ;) aaanyway, their story is just as incredible as they are- they met only 3 weeks before donny moved away from the city they both lived in and they felt such a strong connection that they decided to give the distance a shot! that couldn’t have been easy at all. but here we are, two years later, sharing their engagement photos! and i couldn’t be happier for them. or for us, because they are awesome and we get to shoot their wedding!

something else you should know about donny- he loves trains. really, all forms of transportation. he studies them, refines the systems and makes life better for all of us. or, at least, that’s what i understood of what his doctorate is going to focus on- i maaay have butchered that. ;) anyway! it involves him loving trains. so, when they first contacted us to tell us about their engagement they already had a fantastic plan for their engagement photos- the southeastern railway museum! and it really was perfect. until the wind kicked up and it started pouring rain- but really, even then, they popped out their clear umbrella (purchased in case of this exact scenario) and we powered through for a few more shots! here are just a few of our favorites:

just when we thought the rain had stopped…


amy & donny, we are so glad that we are going to be a little part of your wedding! you guys are such a joy to be around and we really hope that you love these images of the two of you as much as we do!

carolyn & trae are engaged!

carolyn & trae are the two busiest people i know so when their engagement session got rained out i was so relieved when we found another date before their wedding that would work! but THEN, it rained again. wasn’t there a drought here in the atl not too long ago!? anyway, whatever the weather carolyn & trae were ready and willing to push right through and make the shoot happen! we’d met them at a pretty park near emory and as soon as we were all assembled and ready to go, the rain forced us under cover. we wandered through parking decks, overhangs, construction, loading docks and healthcare buildings searching for covered areas to shoot and looking back, i am seriously impressed by how patient and relaxed these two were! in the end i think their session ended with a pretty diverse sets of images- each little vignette different but beautiful thanks to their love and optimism!

first up, the park we were supposed to be shooting in:

carolyn & trae, there’s something special about a couple who can ignore their surroundings and just focus on each other the way you guys can! we are so excited for your upcoming wedding, after this shoot i know it will be such a joyous day!

hannah & steve are engaged!

steve lived pretty much next door to me for a couple years in college so when he sent me a message that he was engaged and i saw we were booked for his wedding i was bummed- to say the least. because, you see, steve is a unique person- he was always off to work out or study or play sports but always with a surprisingly calm demeanor. even though he seemed pretty scheduled i never saw him stressed- he was always quick to laugh at his crazy roommate or just smile and say hello as we passed in the parking lot. that, my friends, makes for a special person- and i knew any girl that could keep up with him must be amazing too.

dead on! meeting hannah we could immediately see that she and steve ‘clicked.’ if you think that sounds cheesy you should hang out with them and come up with a better way to explain it. ;) they compliment each other in every way and easily made one another smile and laugh. couples like hannah & steve make us so happy! it was also really great that they totally trusted our instincts and were willing to venture anywhere to get ‘the’ shot. but more on that later, for now, the lovely, hannah & steve:

just workin’ the architecture :)

so when i mentioned they were willing to go anywhere…one of those places was the roof! and not just the roof, we had them standing on a bench at the edge of the roof so we could just get pretty sky and not roof grossness in this image- they look so peaceful for the position they are in!

the next place was a secret indoor location- we will not disclose it because we do not want to openly admit to what MIGHT have been trespassing…

this is one of the last images we grabbed before we headed back to the cars. i love seeing couples laugh together- it just helps me to see how much fun they will have together forever!
