A Waterfront Engagement Session
Last week I travelled to North Carolina to photograph Reese & Abby’s Waterfront engagement session at Lake Gaston! It was a warm, serene summer evening and the clouds were rolling in. The colors of the sky and water blended perfectly on the horizon. I love how these photos capture the feelings of that evening, and Reese and Abby’s sweet relationship.

Somehow, time and time again I get to photograph couples who love and care about the beautiful elements of a wedding, but those things don’t get in the way of their true priority: relationships. Their families are close, and they share deep values. Abby and Reese are no exception. I loved getting to know them during their engagement session and am so excited to be a part of their wedding day!
Reese and Abby are getting married at the beautiful Trump Winery in Charlottesville next Spring, and I can’t wait to be there.
Enjoy a few favorites from their Waterfront Engagement Session at Lake Gaston!

Reese loves to fish, and some of his favorite memories with Abby were the times they went out to the lake together early in the morning to go fishing, coffee in hand. I love these photos!
