Tripp and Megan Engaged! | Goochland, VA Engagement Photographer

I met with Tripp and Megan for their engagement session and we had SUCH a fun time!  I enjoyed getting to know them better and I cannot wait for their wedding in September!  The story on how they met and Tripp’s proposal is so cute and I would love to share it in Megan’s words.

Tripp and I have been together for three years.  Neither of us likes to use the word fate, but it seems that’s what brought us together.  We met on a random Saturday afternoon after I had lunch with my aunt, whom I hadn’t seen in a while.  She suggested that we go down to the “dog lots” [where they kept their hunting dogs] to see if my cousin was there.  Well, sure enough he was, along with a handsome young man, whom I had never seen, and puppies!! I mean, come on… what more could a girl ask for?!  We talked for a few minutes while playing with the puppies and when I left I thought I’d never see or hear from him again.  But not even three minutes later, my aunt got a phone call asking if Tripp could have my phone number. 

            The road to our engagement was full of ups and downs, but that night was perfect.  We went to Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, just as we do every year to look at Christmas lights.  As we were walking out, we came up on a group of people standing around.  It took me a minute to notice who they were (I wasn’t wearing my glasses), but eventually I realized both of our families were standing there.  Tripp walked over to my dad, who pulled out a small white box from his jacket.  Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! Of course, I said YES!!! My dad has since passed away after being sick for a very long time, so it really meant a lot to me, and to Tripp, that he was there to “give me away” since he won’t be there for our big day.  We are so very excited for our upcoming wedding on September 16, 2017!!

I love that Megan’s dad was able to share such a special moment with her and Tripp, I know how much that means to their families.  Below are some favorites from their engagement session!
