Abi + Dakota | Blacksburg and Roanoke Engagement Photography

I had a great time photographing Abi and Dakota! They are getting married in April 2018 in Charlottesville.

We met at Heritage Park in Blacksburg, Virginia for their session. It was a beautiful evening for a session! Abi and Dakota chose this location because they had spent a lot of time there when they lived in Blacksburg (they currently live in Savannah, Georgia). They miss the mountains and since it is so special to them Heritage Park seemed like the perfect spot!

Abi and Dakota have been a couple for 3 years now. They met at New River Community College while taking a public speaking class. Abi told me that she wouldn’t say it was “love at first sight” but she knew something special was going to happen.

Now they are very much in love but they both still love learning new things about each other! The love to learn in general. They love learning new things about the world. They told me their theory is, “there’s nothing Google can’t answer!” Abi and Dakota love to travel and are excited to experience the world together!

Abi told me about the very beautiful way that Dakota proposed. She told me, “When I was 16 I decided to study abroad in France. It had been a year or so since I had been back, so we decided to take a trip to visit my host family. The first day we got there I walked him around the small town that I had lived in. The following day, we went back to my favorite place in the town. We set up my camera on the ripped to take a picture of us in front of the Fiat we rented. As i hit the button on the camera to run over to him the next thing I know I look over and he was on one knee asking me to marry him! The picture almost looks fake, but he caught it perfectly!” What an awesome story!

It was so much being a part of this session! Enough from me though! The photos!
