“I choose you. And I’ll choose you, over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I’ll keep choosing you.”

I am SO excited to be sharing Christina & CJ’s Blue Ridge Parkway engagement session on the blog this morning! These sweethearts were engaged at Rough Ridge, another absolutely stunning hike not too far from this one! We were lucky enough to encounter some gorgeous light, and only a few other hikers–lucky for us–during their engagement shoot at Beacon Heights. This spot on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Linville has been a favorite of mine ever since discovering it freshman year at Appalachian. It’s just so peaceful and hidden away. There is something very spiritual about this place, and there is certainly something spiritual about Christina & CJ’s love for one another. I loved being the one to capture how they hold each other, how they look into each other’s eyes, and how they just walk alongside each other. They will be married in Linville, North Carolina in early July! Christina & CJ…I wish you nothing but happiness, joy, and love throughout your marriage! I am blessed to know such sweet souls!
