Bellingrath Gardens Winter Engagement Session

Catherine + Grant

Catherine and Grant were naturals behind the camera! They chose Bellingrath Gardens for their engagement session location and I could not have been more thrilled! Bellingrath is absolutely beautiful everywhere you turn, so naturally its a great location to take pictures. We got lucky with amazing lighting during their fun engagement session!

Catherine and Grant have known each other for a LONG time!! They went to the same middle school and started dating in high school their freshman year, so if I remember correctly, they’ve been together around 6 years! That’s amazing!! They are both so sweet and you can tell they truly love one another!

They were all smiles and laughing during their engagement session which led to photos showing the genuine connection they have! One of my favorite parts of my job is the engagement session. It gives me an opportunity to meet my couples in person and see how they interact together. Honestly, it makes the wedding day go by SO much smoother because I’ve learned so much about them at their engagement session and the couple has learned all about my posing and how I guide them to create beautiful memories.

Catherine comes from a big family and one of her sisters gifted her a beautiful bracelet with their wedding date engraved on it for her to wear during the engagement session. I thought it was so sweet that her sister thought of something so sentimental!

I leave it up to my couple to decide if they would like to do an outfit change during the engagement session and I am so happy that these two did! They wore one fancier outfit to start with and changed halfway through. This gave us the opportunity to get some really fun poses (like frolicking through an open field) that would not have been as easy in a fancy dress.

Congratulations Catherine and Grant on your engagement!! I cannot wait for your wedding this year!
