Mike & Sarah

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THESE TWO !!!

A while ago I got an email from Mike, Sarah’s boyfriend. He wanted to propose to Sarah on the kissing rock, JMU’s famous (and maybe infamous) landmark. His plan was incredibly romantic and involved leading a blindfolded Sarah all over the state to get to JMU. A little twist in Mike’s plan though, is that he wanted me to be there to capture the proposal. OF COURSE I was totally on board for the idea and had the incredible experience of photographing their engagement the moment it happened. We then went to one of my (and Sarah’s) favorite restaurants downtown, Jack Browns, to celebrate with friends and family.

Now, a few months later, I was fortunate enough to be a part of their engagement shoot. We went all over Harrisonburg for this shoot. Including some train tracks that Mike and Sarah scouted right before the shoot !
