I really can’t say enough good things about these two right here. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Katy for the past 2 years, and she is one of the most energetic, joyful, and encouraging people I’ve ever met. This girl just exudes goodness, and to be around her makes you feel better about the world.

I was so thrilled when she asked me to take engagement photos for her and Charlie, which she called “mini pics” because using the term “engagement photos” was just too much for her to handle. This girl is the opposite of Pinterest, and I love it. She insisted that there be no “gazing into each other’s eyes” or “arms around each other’s waists.” Natural and fun was the name of the game, and I knew I couldn’t disappoint.

We decided to head up to Lookout Mountain because it’s hard to go wrong in such a beautiful setting, and before I knew it they were dominating their “mini pics.” Katy is so full of laughter and Charlie is so sweet, and I think they actually admitted to having fun by the end of it.

The level of comfort, laughter, and joy between these two can only come from going through every season together (5 years of seasons to be exact). They know each other to the core, and it shows through in the way they were able to be absolutely themselves in every single photo.

Katy and Charlie, I just adore you two. Thank you for trusting me to not take the cheesy engagement photos you hate.

Let's get that double date on the books soon, okay?
