Ryan & Hannah | Engagement

A lovely dog filled engagement session at Duke Gardens, North Carolina.

The moment you fall in love with someone is a moment you will never forget. Hannah has the most giving and caring heart. She loves and cares for fosters dogs. When she received two puppies and their mother from South Carolina to foster, the puppies were very sick, and she was doing everything she could to nurse them back to health. Ryan and Hannah were only dating for a short time when one of the puppies became extremely ill and had to be put down. Hannah called Ryan to cancel their date and explained what was happening. So while Hannah was at the vet’s office, Ryan showed up to be with her. It was so sweet to see the love that they have for each other, that is what true love is, isn’t? Being there for someone no matter what? Just a week after that, Ryan went on to adopt the other puppy. Her name is Qubit aka “Q” and he promised to love her and keep her safe. (She even came out for the pictures, can you guess which one she is??) For Hannah, that is when she knew that she would love Ryan forever. So when doing their engagement session we went to one of their favorite places, Duke Gardens. Armed with loads of squeaky toys, dog treats, lots of laughter and two fantastic friends, Bekah and Nancy, we were able to get some fabulous photographs throughout the gardens.

So who is Q? The dogs in order are Emma, Qubit “Q” and Freya.

Sara and I cannot wait to photograph your gorgeous wedding in September at the Garden of Gray Gables!
