I had the absolute joy of photographing Lauren & Nick’s engagement session while they were visiting the Smokies all the way from New Jersey! Their story is so sweet—Nick had originally planned to propose on this very trip, but he just couldn’t wait and popped the question early. 🥰

Now that wedding planning is in full swing, they needed some photos for their save the dates, and I was thrilled to help them capture this exciting season of life. We spent the evening exploring the mountains, and these two were such a dream to photograph. Lauren & Nick were so chill, up for anything, and their laughter made the whole session so much fun.

The Smoky Mountains are always a breathtaking backdrop, but what really makes these sessions special is the love between the people in front of my camera. Watching Lauren & Nick together, it’s clear how much they adore each other and how excited they are for what’s ahead.

Congratulations, Lauren & Nick! I wish you both all the happiness as you start this next chapter together. ❤️
