West Village Chattanooga Engagement Photos

Have you ever met another couple that when you’re getting to know them you find yourself saying, “US TOO!” bizarrely frequently? That was us during Madison & Greg’s engagement photo shoot in the West Village area of Downtown Chattanooga. While Jimmy and I drove home, I thought, ‘Did we just meet the twin version of us pre-kids?’

I think we did. I attended their Planning Experience Day at Castleton Farms the next week and was only further confirmed it. From their sense of adventure and ambitious careers to priorities and values, we seem so similar. It’s made working with them SO FUN, and we’re that much more excited for their wedding day!

Madison & Greg’s story started with a Swipe Right while passing on the interstate while traveling. Their engagement began in ICELAND. Madison had dreamt of visiting Iceland since high school. So, for the proposal, Greg planned a trip there with their friends. He proposed in front of a waterfall and at the prettiest time of day. Boy, do we wish we had known them back then and could have photographed that!!!

The West Village area in Downtown Chattanooga is no Iceland, but Madison felt an urban feel reflected their relationship well. We were so happy about that because there we a few new places we wanted to try out, like the rooftop and unique architectural spots! It was important to Madison that their pictures captured them having fun together too, so we incorporated some fun prompts and dance moves. Did I mention Madison used to be a competitive dancer and ballerina, and Greg can keep up?! So, yeah, that was hands down my favorite part of our time together. Just look at those shots–eeep! 🙂

Madison & Greg – we absolutely cannot wait for May 2024. We genuinely enjoyed spending time with you and being there for you in this way. We hope these previews from your engagement photos bring smiles to your faces and make your travel and effort worth while! See you soon!
