Katie and Michael met during the summer of her senior year at USC. While they exchanged numbers that night and kept in touch through text, it wasn’t until six months later that Katie and Michael had their first date. She said she didn’t put too much pressure on the date and it ended up exceeding all her expectations. The date went so well and they had so much in common, she said she knew he was “the One” that very night. Fast forward to this past June, and Michael confirmed her feelings when he got down on one knee and proposed.

The crisp, cool air of fall is right around the corner and it’s been teasing me a little in the evenings. But Katie and Michael’s engagement session proved that summer wants to stay here as long as possible. Thank goodness these two didn’t mind snuggling up in the heat! They even brought their sweet pup Sallie along to be in some of their photos. We met at one of their friends’ family land that had some beautiful mountain views, then drove over to Campbell’s Covered Bridge to finish out the session.

Not only is this couple beautiful together, but they were so kind and easy to work with (even in the heat!). Katie and Michael, I’m so honored to be capturing this exciting time in your lives and I can’t wait for the wedding in March!
