Ryann & Eli = Rose Hill Estate Engagement Session!

Rose Hill Estate Engagement Session  |  Ryann & Eli  |  June 22, 2025

Wowwwww ya’ll – this was a FUN session to shoot!!! Even though NC was so hot that we were on a Heat Advisory Warning (yes, it was brutal)…. this session was pure perfection!!! A beautiful, fun-loving couple, full sunshine, at our favorite venue – what more could we ask for?! It was simply the best!! We were supposed to shoot earlier this month, but it was calling for rain – and I’m so glad we switched to this day full of SUN! It was magical!!!  :)

Ryann and Eli were so photogenic and up for all my ideas – even in that heat! They picked out 3 outfits, and looked so cute in all of them! We had fun exploring around their wedding venue & finding new spots to shoot! Ryann said she used to come clay shooting when she was younger, and always knew she’d want to get married at Rose Hill! In fact, she called them the DAY after they got engaged to go ahead and book Rose Hill!! So cool. :)

It was fun to catch up with Eli & Ryann, because the first time we met them was photographing at Eli’s sister’s wedding! (If you missed seeing Grayson & James’ wedding blog, click HERE to view!!) They are both just the sweetest, so it was great seeing them again!! It’s always an honor to capture a couple’s love stories – but when these two have been together for 7 years since they were just 14 and 16, it makes an Engagement Session even MORE special!!!  :)

Ryann’s engagement ring is so beautiful, and it was designed by Vaughan’s Jewelers in Wilson, NC – our shared hometown! We always love working with Wilson couples. In fact, Eli’s family’s barn was OUR own wedding venue back 11 years ago! His grandparents allowed us to have the first wedding there, and now it’s a wedding venue for others to rent! Soooo special and full circle for us! 

I have SO MANY favorite photos to share with ya’ll of this beautiful couple (beautiful both inside AND out!) and I can’t wait for you to see them below. Enjoy!!!
