When Brooke contacted me about doing an engagement session at Flat Rock Park, I was instantly all in. I hadn’t had a chance to shoot at this park yet, but I’d visited several times with my family and I knew it was one of the most gorgeous natural settings in Columbus, Georgia.
What I didn’t know yet? Flat Rock Park had even more special meaning to Brooke & David.
Brooke explained to me that Flat Rock Park was the location of their first date, and during the session David laughed as he told me, “When we went mud bogging on our first date, I knew she was it.”
We started the session in a wooded area, then moved over to the rocks to catch some of the gorgeous Georgia evening sun. It was hot out, but these two did an incredible job of ignoring the heat and focusing on each other. They were such an incredible couple to work with. I hardly had to give them any direction, as they were so naturally loving and playful!
As we got in our cars and moved toward the lake, the rain started coming down and I feared we wouldn’t get to shoot at this special spot (where they had their first date!). Luckily, the rain only lasted for a few minutes, and we excitedly jumped out of our cars to catch those last few gorgeous shots.
Brooke & David, I am so happy for you two. You are such a radiant couple and I cannot wait for you to begin this next chapter of your lives together. Truly, I couldn’t have enjoyed this session more!
