What a small world it is. I met Julia through her friend Adriane and when we got to chatting, we found out that that Julia grew up in the same town as Zack in Illinois and even knows the Rygh boys. Like… what?!

Julia and Gabe are doing a long distance engagement and I can only imagine how hard that is. Being apart and planning a wedding?! But these two are amazing and handling it like pros. This is why I love engagement sessions, it’s quality time. A date. A memory that you get to keep forever!!  The engagement session also helps me get to know a couple as they snuggle, share all kinds of kisses, make awkward face and laugh at anything and everything.

Julia mentioned that Gabe isn’t a huge fan of taking pictures and that always makes me a little nervous, BUT he was an amazing model. And guess what, when we were done… he said?! “That was fun!” Julia and I gasped! He had fun; we all had such a blast together exploring Sweet Briar’s beautiful campus. I can only imagine what their gorgeous industrial wedding is going to be like with the Carolina blue and all beautiful red brick you can handle. 🙂 I know that it will be as much fun as these two are!! I mean… just look at how cute they are!

Can we talk about this ring? How gorgeous. Gabe, you nailed it!!
