A Dauphin Island Engagement Session at Sunrise | Leah + Justin

Leave a Comment

leahjustinengagement_0033Some places hold the meaning to the most valuable moments for our hearts.  We can arrive somewhere, and instantly a wave of emotion hits and washes over us.  For Leah & Justin, that place is Dauphin Island.  Dauphin Island is a place they both hold near and dear to their hearts.  For, it was there, along the beaches of Alabama, that these two met and fell in love.  Their story, just like their love– is beautifully unique.  It didn’t start at love at first sight, no.  In fact, it started with Justin believing that Leah wanted nothing to do with him!  Luckily, though, love always wins, and seven months after they met, Justin made the bold move of pursuing this gorgeous girl, and their relationship began right here, on these beaches.  After a year of adventures, exploring and getting to know each other, Justin asked Leah to be his forever.  Of course, he chose their most special place to ask that most special question.  At the same beach house where their relationship began, Justin and Leah got engaged, and now, a year after that, in March 2017 these two are getting MARRIED!

Justin & Leah woke up before the sun and met me on the beautiful beaches that have been the canvas to their love story these last few years.  I HAVE to brag on them when I say that it was SO early– but their joy was still as bright as ever during their sesssion.  Sun rise sessions are a favorite of mine, and these two made me love them all the more!!

I have the best in laws in the whole wide world 🤍

For Thanksgiving, my little family and I made our way back to Alabama to celebrate with David’s parents & sisters. We traveled 10 hours with all three kids 3 and under. Everyone did wonderfully and I’ve gotta say it was one of my biggest accomplishments in life 😂🥰. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had so much fun baking pies, taking walks, and enjoying quality time together. Dave got to see his best bud & I got to spend a lot of quality time with my mother in law 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My in laws sacrifice so much for their family. They work hard, love our babies so beautifully and ALWAYS make an effort to come visit us when they can. It was so much fun traveling back to sweet home Alabama to be with them 🤍
