Chattanooga Bridge Engagement Session

An engagement session with lots of chemistry (keep reading to see why that’s a good pun!) for Maddie & Dawson with the Chattanooga Bridge in the background!

Maddie & Dawson met in high school Chemistry class. The rest is history for these high school sweethearts! Now, they’re both about to finish college this May and then merge their lives through marriage in September at Castleton Farms!

After photographing Maddie & Dawson at their engagement session, I think that them meeting in chemistry class was the perfect beginning, because the “chemistry” and dynamic between these two cuties is so fun to be around! Maddie’s smile is literally contagious, and she puts together stunning outfits! Dawson’s upbeat, positive outlook made even the dreary day seem bright!

I mentioned it was dreary…the days leading up to their engagement session was like a monsoon. There was so much flooding throughout Chattanooga. We all were on our toes watching what the weather would be like for the session, especially because Maddie & Dawson were coming from out-of-town! Thankfully, rain wasn’t in the forecast! Woohoo! It was insanely cloudy though…and it did end up raining some at the end (15% chance was very inaccurate, ha!). But…because it was dreary, I was able to shoot from angles and locations I wouldn’t normally be able to, but have always wanted to!!!! Usually, the sun would be too harsh and not in a good angle! So, I was loving the new shots and my creativity was flowing! I’m so excited to that Maddie & Dawson have these shots!!!

We absolutely cannot wait to celebrate with you two and your loved ones soon! Until then we hope you enjoy these previews of your engagement session at the Chattanooga bridge. We’re betting you’ll look at them over and over like we have! 🙂
