Meet Rebecca and Justin. And then get ready to swoon over their ridiculously beautiful classic downtown Lexington, Virginia engagement photography session! I have known Rebecca now going on 20 years. Yes, that long! I’m best friends with her older sister, and Rebecca was only a year behind us in school. And then, Rebecca and I both went to James Madison University together (Go Dukes!). Getting to capture this season of Rebecca’s life is extra sweet for me. I am so happy she found her forever partner!
Rebecca and Justin met while at the gym in Cleveland, Ohio, where they both now live and work. The two of them then found out they’re both residents at the same hospital! This wildly ambitious, stunningly gorgeous pair were engaged while playing golf, something the two of them have bonded over during their relationship. He invited her parents to play a round with them, and while they were on the green, he got down on one knee. She immediately said yes, and now they are in the midst of planning their golf course wedding in Cleveland, Ohio, for next year!
We were all in our hometown over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was perfect timing to schedule their engagement session in the mountains of Virginia! We headed over to Lexington, Virginia where they have the most adorable, quaint downtown area. Justin and Rebecca walked the streets of historic Lexington, Virginia during their engagement session, laughing and smiling the whole time. Then we headed to the Lexington Country Club to finish their session and incorporate their love of golf. Their downtown Lexington, Virginia engagement photography session was an absolute dream. Full of beautiful textured walls and different colors, it’s a wedding photographer’s dream.
I am so excited to share more and can’t wait until their wedding day!

There are some love stories you feel lucky to witness from the very beginning — and Gabby and Miles are exactly that kind of story for me. I had the joy of hiding among the vines to capture the moment Miles got down on one knee, and now, months later, I found myself standing on […]

October engagement photos at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens — Nashville, Tennessee There’s something about October at Cheekwood that feels almost cinematic. The light goes golden earlier, the gardens shift into their rich autumn palette, and the whole estate takes on this quiet, unhurried magic — which made it the absolute perfect backdrop for Jon and […]

There are venues that feel like backdrops, and then there are venues that feel like characters in the story. The Estate at Cherokee Dock is the latter — a place so layered with beauty that every turn of the grounds offered something new, something unexpected, something made entirely for photographs. — Rachael Knaak, Harp & […]
