Josh and Jennifer plan to get married in Illinois where their family is from but fate had it that they do their engagement photos in Augusta and we had the honor of capturing those photos for them! We decided to visit a location we haven’t been to in almost two years I believe and it’s still beautiful but it’s still a popular swimming hole and is hard to get to. Even with all of that, the photos came back so beautiful that it’s completely worth the visit and we had a great time getting to know this sweet couple and of course petting their dog, “Sophie”. We absolutely enjoyed this adventurous sunset session and are so excited for this sweet couple!
Jeremiah and Amanda Engagement Session
So, this is a a fun two part engagement session with one of our favorite couples. We photographed her sister’s wedding and became friends with the family pretty quickly. You can see that post here. As soon as Amanda reached out, I am pretty sure we looked at each other and let out some sort of excited noise because we loved the family and this couple is so fun!
Now on the first part of the engagement session, we met up with Amanda and Jeremiah at the park and there was originally no chance of rain besides the little bit that happened earlier that day but, sometimes it changes last minute. We were literally about half way into the session and heading back to the front of the park when the sky fell and in that moment you have a decision to make. Do you embrace the rain and go full Notebook, run to shelter that’s close or run to the cars with no cover. So them being such a cool couple decided to embrace it for a second and then we ran to shelter. That also allowed us to plan a part two since they didn’t get their full time and even though we had plenty of great shots, we didn’t want to give them an unfinished session so, as we were drying off a little under the shelter, we planned part two. We had agreed on Redcliffe Plantation in Beech Island but, it was 4th of July weekend and they closed so the day of, we switched to one of our go to parks in North Augusta, Brick Pond Park. Once we met up, we walked into the park together and got to see a bunch of Alligators and start the dreamy sunset session together. The amount of jokes thrown out during both of the sessions made it so much fun and they’re just an adorable couple so, our job was fairly easy really. We ended the session with such a gorgeous sunset by the dock and said our goodbyes. We are so excited to be a part of their wedding day next April!
