Winter Rooftop Engagement Photos in Chattanooga

Our time capturing Nicole & Michael’s winter rooftop engagement photos were almost as adventurous as them as a couple! I loved hanging out with them in Downtown Chattanooga & climbing to a rooftop to get some dreamy cityscape backgrounds! They even brought their precious pup, Eli, to join in some of their engagement photos!

Nicole & Michael met while they were at Auburn University, and life has taken them on some serious adventures since! Michael’s Navy career took them out to Seattle. While in Seattle, Nicole commuted to work like Meredith Grey and Michael lived on a SUBMARINE…what?! (PS – Nicole is a medical professional btw, so she’s basically Meredith in my book!) She’s a pediatric nurse, and I couldn’t imagine a better fit for her!

After Michael’s short tour to Seattle, they moved back home around Thanksgiving. Since then it’s been a blur of settling in, renovating their home, and planning a wedding…you know, nothing crazy at all! Haha! 🙂 These two seem like they’ve been on the go like this since they started dating! We love getting to know our ARP couples & what their lives are like. It helps us to authentically capture them in the season of life they are in!

Amongst all the business of moving, renovating, and planning, they made time to travel TO US in Chattanooga for their engagement session! It was such a blast meeting them and their dog Eli, talking real estate shop, and getting hyped for their wedding at Crescent Bend!

Nicole & Michael – we hope you love these previews from our time together for your winter rooftop engagement photos! You two are more photogenic than you give yourselves credit for! Even Eli pulled out all the doggy model stops! Just look at that handsome pup! We can not wait to see you all again soon!
