Lizzie + Payton = Engagement Session!

Engagement Session | Lizzie + Payton | August 15th, 2019

After dating for almost 12 years, Lizzie and Payton finally had their Engagement Session photographed! I’m sure it felt surreal that their session was finally here! Payton and Lizzie actually booked us BEFORE they got engaged (secret: most of our couples actually do this!) so when we arrived, it was so fun to see Lizzie’s GORGEOUS vintage-inspired ring for the first time and congratulate them!

Summertime in NC always means the threat of thunderstorms, so Lizzie and I were on the lookout for the forecast all week. We decided the morning of their session to change the session time to 2:30pm to beat the 70% chance of thunderstorms at our original sunset time!

The good news is that we were all flexible to make that earlier session time happen… the BAD news is that instead of being cooler and cloudy/overcast (like the forecast showed), the 2:30pm SUN was BEATING DOWN ON US, and it was sooooooo hot and humid! But Lizzie and Payton were great sports, we took plenty of “sweat breaks” and tried to find shade!

It was so fun to photograph at 2 locations that are meaningful to Lizzie and Payton. It’s always an adventure to photograph in places that are new to us! In just about 6 months, these two will be saying their vows at his family farm where we photographed the second half of their session, after 12 years of dating!

We hope you LOVE seeing my favorite photos of Payton and Lizzie’s Engagement Session!
