This summer sunset engagement session takes place in the charming streets of downtown Roanoke and features a gorgeous, floral off-the-shoulder maxi dress, a solitaire diamond engagement ring and all kinds of glowy sunset light!

Lauren and I used to dance together at the local school of dance and most recently in the Alumni Dance in 2016 (Ahh! 2021 we get to do it again! woo!) Anywho… so I have known Lauren for MANY years and when she asked if I could shoot their engagement photos I was thrilled! They are getting married in Florida this coming Spring and booked a local photographer there but she loved my work and wanted to have me capture this special season of their life and I was more than happy to!

It was great catching up with Lauren and meeting Ryan, a Fort Wayne police officer! I LOVE serving people who serve our communities! Thank you for your service, Ryan! As we explored the charming sidewalks of Roanoke, we stopped at plenty of florals and chased the light as we ended up in the big field of Roanoke park at the end of the evening. Enjoy my favorites of this summer engagement session!

As a creative wedding photographer, I'm always refining my eye for shooting artistically but I also understand the importance of preserving ALL the elements of your day. You'll feel confident knowing your gallery will include jaw-dropping portraits that feel natural, candids that embody your unique connection, along with every detail of your celebration from start to finish. All this while having someone behind the camera who feels like an old friend.
