Engagements!

So I have been wanting to write this blog for sometime, but finding the time has been difficult.

For those of you who know me trying to find a wedding photographer was my highest priority.  Well I found the best! Torrence Photography.  I was so looking forward to this session and it lived up to my expectations immensely.

Next was determining the location of the engagement session, boone immediately came to mind. It is a place near and dear to our hearts. Even though we didn't start dating til later, App is where Josh and I first met. Specifically on the football field on my first day of band camp.

So on october 3rd we set out for boone with our fabulous photographers! We start off the shoot at the football field of course.  We walk up to the gate, that is always open, and its locked.  I think its over, my dreams of having a pictures taken on the field are gone.  But before I freakout completely Josh walks over to the visitors gate for some hope one might be left open.  Well there was! So we go in.  I was worried this would be awkward and Josh and I wouldn't be comfortable doing it.  But Stephen, our photographer, immediately made us feel comfortable.  We had a blast running all over the field taking different shots, he truly captured us and our love.

So in the process of making this perfect, packing the right outfits and so fourth, I forgot our jackets and it was 50 degrees, windy and misty, oops. More on that later.

We head to the music center next, Josh's request, to change into outfit number 2.  After we are done changing we run into our old Marching Band director, Dr. Tobias.  That was cool, I hadn't seen him since I left the band my junior year.  We then head out side for these shots.

Next we head to king street to find some jackets.  We are there on a sunday, everything closes at 5 if open at all on sundays in boone.  We make it to the mast general store at 6pm as they are closing, we bang on the door and they let us in! Josh buys a jacket that we will intend to share. They were so nice just because we were engaged and they knew we were doing our photo shoot.  These are the shots captured during the process,

Next was my favorite part. I have been wanting to do some of these with an umbrella as long as I can remember.  I have been obsessed really.  Umbrellas have become the theme of our wedding.  Along with  the tag, Rain or Shine, You'll be Mine! Anyways the sun is setting and we have about 15 min to get to the parkway and get these shot.  I had to have some taken with mountains in the background.  We arrive at Moses Cone Manor in the nix of time as fog is rolling in, and Stephen captured the moment perfectly.

And then it was over :( It went by so quickly.  We set out for dinner and ended up at woodland's, a nice finish to the perfect day.  Thank you so much Stephen and CJ, you did an amazing job!
