Katie & Brent \\ Engagement

The Storyline: “I had moved two months earlier and wasn’t very happy about being hundreds of miles away from my family and closest friends back in Maryland. I had no shame in my routine of going to work and straight home where I would regularly stay in my room the rest of the night. After a few months though, God shifted my mindset. I knew I needed to go out and simply be around people. I begrudgingly emailed the Compassion volunteer coordinator who had a month earlier sent a message asking for help getting kids sponsored at a concert. It was there that two years to this day I met Roz, who would the following day introduce me to my soon-to-be husband, Brent. We had lunch at Hattie B’s on 8th. (This is also the same spot we had dinner on the night we got engaged on the corner of Bradford + White) I wasn’t looking for friends. I wasn’t looking for a boyfriend. I found both. Could God have somehow orchestrated these relationships another way? I believe so. There’s something very powerful though in recognizing that the Holy Spirit was at work before I even showed up to that concert. So, for what it’s worth, don’t give up on the things you want and even need. They might just be on the other side of an obedient yes. Mine came in the form of volunteering at a concert. Who knows what’s around the corner for you. Just don’t give up.” -Katie

It was such an exciting time for me as a sister (and photographer) to watch my brother move to Nashville then meet, date, and eventually get engaged to KB. She has become one of my best friends and getting to document their engagement will forever hold such a special place in my heart. We started out shoot at thee Cool Springs House, which is the venue where they will get married this November then headed over to Radnor Lake where they like to hike. Obviously, including Hattie B’s was the most important, and we even took a few photos at the exact corner where they met and Brent proposed. I also found out after the fact that Brent may or may not have proposed on 6/15 because its the Nashville area code… (nerd).

So excited to be gaining another sister and to watch them get married in three months!!

Enjoy! xo
