I am beyond excited to photograph this beautiful couple again—only a little over a year to go until their New Year’s Eve wedding! It’s going to be one for the books, and yes… the countdown is already on.

Their love story started with a bold message and a double-header first date—proof that great things happen when you take a chance. Since then, they’ve navigated a long-distance relationship with grace and strength, balancing medical school, residency, and physician assistant training. It’s clear they deeply respect and admire each other—and seeing how he lights up when she’s near says it all.

For a fun twist to end their engagement session, we visited a medical center and captured some playful “doctor-themed” portraits—a perfect nod to their shared passion for healthcare and service.

I truly can’t wait to ring in the new year next year with this incredible duo and document every joyful, emotional, and unforgettable moment of their wedding day.
