Craggy Gardens Engagement Session
Can I tell you what a joy it was to get an email from Megan? She said, “I am engaged and getting married this fall!” I was so excited because we photographed her twin sister Annabel’s wedding in January! To be invited back to capture another family celebration is such an honor.
After emailing we settled on taking their engagement photos at Craggy Gardens on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We were traveling back from South Carolina so kids in tow Harry took them on an adventure while I hung out with Megan and Ben! And What a Joy! These two are the sweetest, I loved capturing their love for each other. And let me tell you Ben took me seriously when I said, “Okay now snuggle in close.” Hands down the best groom snuggler to date!
How They Met
Their story is the sweetest and once you hear it you will be as convinced as I am that their relationship is no accident. These two met last fall while Megan was doing community health clinicals for her nursing program. She was assigned to go to the fire station and give flu shots. Ben was a new hire for the fire station and there to get a physical. As Ben was leaving he grappled in the parking lot with going back and getting Megan’s number, he decided not to. Two days later, Clemson was playing Georgia Southern at home. After trading her ticket with her roommate and sitting on the “hill” she was getting up to leave to meet her sister at the concession stand, she saw Ben and after talking for a while, this time he got her number.
They realized Ben was visiting Megan’s church and they were both interested in doing work overseas. They saw each other again the next evening at a small gathering of friends. A few days later Ben calls Megan and they have been going on dates ever since. One of those date nights led to a sweet surprise proposal with tears and lots of hugs. To say we are excited for their wedding in August is an understatement. These two were completely meant to be together and we just can’t wait.
