Shannon + Daniel = Engagement Session!

Engagement Session  |   Shannon + Daniel  |  June 30, 2020

We’d been looking forward to Shannon + Daniel’s Engagement Session for a while now! Even MORE so, because Shannon is sisters with Miranda who is also a TLJ Bride (see Miranda’s Engagement HERE!) and was a bridesmaid in Rebecca’s wedding a year ago (see her gorgeous wedding HERE!) So now it was FINALLY Shannon’s turn – and we couldn’t have been more excited!!! 🙂

Shannon had picked out her outfits MONTHS in advance, got her hair + makeup done by the incredibly talented Melody Raper (also a TLJ Bride!), and we’d been watching the weather for a week in preparation!!! With only a 20% chance of rain, we decided to move forward as planned! Then on our drive from Wilson… it was a torrential downpour. We even had to put on hazard lights and slow down because we couldn’t even see the road. That’s NOT what you want to see on the way to a session!!! BUT when Shannon and Daniel arrived (and yes it was STILL raining, thundering, and lightening at that point) they rolled down the window and said, “Oh it’s not too bad!!!” – and I could’ve cried in happy relief! Right then, I knew they were willing to make it work no matter what!!!

Daniel and Shannon looked SO GOOD in their outfits, were so cute together, and were the absolute BEST SPORTS in literally the worst weather conditions we’ve EVER had for an Engagement Session!!!! They both posed IN THE RAIN, for almost the WHOLE session – until we had a tiny break at the very end of the session when the SUN popped out!!! It was perfect!!!! 🙂

I loved all the beautiful green around them, all the pretty white florals, and the temperature outside was cool and such a relief from the hot 90-degree days we’d had! Also, they are SO sweet together – and Daniel was incredibly patient, go-with-the-flow, and willing to do whatever it took to make their session amazing!!! Would you even guess that all these photos were taken in the rain – WHILE we heard thunder booming around us?! They killed it!!!!

I’m SO THANKFUL and grateful for Shannon and Daniel’s attitudes making the best of the summertime weather curveball that was thrown at us! I ended up having tons of favorites from their session, so I hope you’ll ENJOY!!!!
