When Rachel and Matt and I were sipping wine and munching on snacks during our Zoom call, we were excited to brainstorm ideas for their unique engagement session. At the heart of our conversation was the goal to create a customized and memorable experience that truly reflected their love story.
Initially, we considered the idea of having their engagement session at Rachel's parents' picturesque lakeside property, where their wedding was also set to take place. However, we collectively decided that it would be a fantastic opportunity to showcase a different side of their love story through their engagement pictures.
As we delved into outfit choices, Rachel shared a photo of a stunning dress she had recently ordered. This dress ignited our creative sparks, and we envisioned an urban, elegant backdrop for their session. After some lively back-and-forth brainstorming, we unanimously agreed that Georgetown would be the perfect location to bring our vision to life.
Rachel and Matt's love story began in a French class back in 2014. Matt, the quiet and punctual student, joined the class while Rachel, full of vivacity, always arrived on time. Fate brought them together when they found themselves sitting in the corner of the classroom one day, leading to the memorable phrase, "I guess we are corner buddies." Matt has cherished that moment ever since.
Their shared passions include travel, fine dining, wine, whiskey, and soccer, with Matt's heart belonging to Manchester United. Rachel dreams of taking him to a match there one day. Conversely, Matt's dream is to explore the Amalfi coast with Rachel, indulging in Italy's finest wineries along the way.
Despite their apparent differences in personality, Rachel and Matt are a perfect match. Rachel admires Matt's unwavering commitment to honesty and integrity, which has inspired her own growth. In her words, "Matt is an honorable person who values honesty above all else, two qualities I greatly admire." Matt, in turn, is impressed by Rachel's boundless generosity, as she goes above and beyond to celebrate her loved ones, extending her caring nature even to strangers.
A delightful twist occurred during our Georgetown photo session when we stumbled upon the very jewelry store where Matt had selected Rachel's engagement ring. Naturally, we couldn't resist capturing some unforgettable moments in front of the store's window display.
We hope you enjoy these engagement pictures as much as we enjoyed creating them!
