I absolutely love it when my couples say, “We have the perfect spot for our engagement photos!” because I not only get to shoot in new and beautiful places but I also get a sneak-peak into the places that are important to them! The couple on the blog today brought me to a gorgeous piece of land where Travis grew up and their relationship bloomed!

Michelle & Travis have been together for 7 years (I seriously have so many high school sweethearts — I love it!) and are just as inseparable now as when they first met! Having met when they were just teenagers, both Travis & Michelle decided to go to separate colleges and pursue their relationship despite the distance. Hundreds of long drives & hours spent apart brought these two even closer together and you can tell how deeply they love just being together.

I love to hear what my couples are most excited about for their wedding day — for some people it’s the intimacy of the ceremony — or to bust a move on the dance floor — or seeing all of the details finally come together. When I asked Michelle & Travis what they were excited for, they both emphasized how excited they were to have all of their family & life-long friends in the same place. Once again, spending time together is so important to these two and it really shows how strong their marriage will be when they focus so intentionally on that time together.

Travis & Michelle, I am so thankful to have met you and to be your wedding photographer! Enjoy your photos and every single moment leading up to your wedding! <3
