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!!

This girl is officially on maternity leave ! ✌🏻 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have had SO much fun photographing my clients, traveling & doing what I love during my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. My body has been pushed to the limit with 8-12 hour wedding days with my sweet little “plus one” safely housed in my belly. But y’all— I did it !! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the next few months I’ll be taking time to focus on my family of five (!!!🥰!!!) and rest. I’ll still be checking emails, & supporting my brides, but my email & response time will be slower than normal. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Soon & very soon we will be meeting out sweet little girl & I cannot wait to introduce you to her. 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be on the lookout for mini session dates later this Summer !!!!

(& yes I did wear the same two amazing dresses all month, thank you very much 🥰)
About last night.... ⭐️🤍👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️
 
To say yesterday was incredible would be an understatement.  Allison and Justin's wedding day was full of wonderful people, beautiful details and so much LOVE.  I cried on and off the whole time (and lets not even bring up the fact that I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant) ;) !  I am so honored to have photographed such a beautiful day filled with such wonderful people!!
 
A special thanks to the amazing wedding vendors that I had the joy of serving alongside!!

Caitlin & Brad met me in Charlottesville, Virginia for their engagement session. They sipped wine at @kingfamilyvineyards , and we photographed the most beautiful session , all while it rained !! Can you believe it ?! We had 10 minutes of sunshine at the very end of our time together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the rain didn’t steal their joy ! If anything , the cloud cover made for creamy skin tones and vibrant colors that truly showcased their precious personalities!! I cannot wait for their wedding next May !!

Baby girl’s nursery is becoming quite lovely 🤍

And yes, this room doubles as our guest room. 🫶🏻

And no, guests won’t have to sleep with a baby in their room. 😉

Unless, of course, my mother in love is reading this. Then, of course you can have the baby in your room. 🥰
