Charlie + Laura | Kennedy Center & Georgetown Waterfront Engagement Session

These two lovebirds. Their engagement has been months in the making. When we had a brunchtime portrait session last year, I remember thinking, "Oh yeah, m-a-r-r-i-a-g-e is coming their way!!" Charlie & Laura are two of the kindest friends with joy-filled, easy-going demeanors. Our church & community is so blessed to have them in our lives.

Laura is a dedicated small group leader to group of women at MBC while Charlie has faithfully served at Covenant House over the past couple years. And when they're together, their love for one another is so infectious & apparent. Shooting their engagement session was such a great evening of laughter, smiles & amore.

After walking around & taking photos at one of their favorite date night spots, The Kennedy Center, we made our way over to the Georgetown Waterfront for more beautiful photos. As tourists & locals alike milled around & walked down the sidewalk, Charlie & Laura only had eyes for one another. Their sweet looks & tender embraces were a joy to capture. This fall, they'll commit their lives to one another before family, friends & God on their wedding day at Bull Run Golf Club. And what an incredible day that will be!

Sara + Dan: beautiful engagement session in Georgetown

From the very first minute I got to chat with Sara & Dan, three things were super clear.

1. They had a huge heart for the Lord.

2. They were all about investing in college students.

3. They treated each another with such gentleness & love :)

They first met at a Regional Community meeting at our church last January & quickly realized they shared a common bond for overseas missions work. As the Lord would have it, Sarah began volunteering her time with The Gathering, a college ministry for the Georgetown students, where Dan was also very involved. Over time, they developed a friendship, which led to testing the dating waters, which led to a getting-down-on-one-knee-and-popping-the-question earlier this year ;)

For the engagement pictures, the awesome couple decided that going back to where they first met would the best spot. Couldn't agree more. Although it was a SUPER windy morning - I'm talking chilly, why aren't we inside with hot chocolate kind of sunrise - Sara & Dan were such troopers, bringing beautiful flowers for the pictures & keeping the spirits the whole time.

This about sums up their adorableness/love for one another & for the Lord. The couple that reads God's Word together, stays together, y'all.

Stop it. Seriously, they were such a joy to shoot! Just look at those faces. Ahhh <3

This may be my favorite. OK, well they're actually all up there as my faves. But this is Fave #1.

We finished off the morning with Sara + Dan taking time to pray together. Such a sweet time between the two of them.  

To the Mr. & soon-to-be Mrs. Broberg,

I have been blessed up to my toes by getting to know y'all better at church (and in our P4M class!), through our time brainstorming for your engagement session & just plain by being around you two.   Here's to your upcoming big day (August isn't that far off!!) & how the Lord will continue to use you both together to magnify Himself through your relationship, your marriage, your daily out-serving one another.
