Kelly and Brandon are currently living in Greenville, SC but are having their wedding here in Charlotte this June…and we are so excited! They have been traveling between here and there making wedding arrangements, so we were able to catch up with them this past weekend for their engagement session.
We started off the afternoon at Freedom Park. This first shot is definitely one of my favorites…I LOVE Weeping Willows.
Kelly and Brandon wanted to incorporate some Marshall University gear into the shoot because that’s where they met! Kelly was born and raised in WV and Brandon’s family is originally from Huntington, WV, (his family was depicted in the movie, “We Are Marshall”)! They both applied for the Athletic Training program and ended up doin gall of their clinical rotations together and traveled quite a bit with the athletic teams. They were really close but didn’t start dating until after they graduated. Then, they ended up liking each other so much they stayed at Marshall for grad school so they could be together!
Oh, and would you like to know what they are laughing at? Well, I was on a sidewalk next to the benches. I wasn’t paying much attention, but I remember a little boy rode by me to the bottom of the hill. Then, I hear a little girl SCREAMING (over and over AND over), “MOVE OUTTA THE WAY“!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, I look around thinking she’s talking to the little boy, but no, she was talking to me and/or Jere who was at the bottom of the hill (and only taking up about a quarter of the walkway)! I was shocked, but we had to laugh though, because during the SCREAMING she was ringing the bell on her bike. At least that made the demand sound a little cheerful.
