There are some people that you meet in life that you never want to stop hanging out with. Amanda and Dutch are those kind of people. They’re fun, they’re sweet, and you never want to stop being around them because you enjoy them so much. We had a great time celebrating their engagement and upcoming wedding with their playful Reynolda Gardens engagement session in Winston-Salem. I can’t wait for you to see it all! 

Reynolda Gardens Engagement Session

When we began planning, Amanda and Dutch knew that they wanted to have their session somewhere their GSP dogs would be welcome. The dogs were SO cute and had the most energy. They were super excited about the photos – maybe even more than Amanda and Dutch. I’m kidding, of course… but the dogs were a lot of fun. I loved being able to capture Amanda and Dutch with their fur babies. It was so sweet. 

After the dogs got tired, it was time to focus on Amanda and Dutch. Amanda changed into a beautiful white sundress and brought out the incredible picnic that she packed. It was such a fun idea! On the lawn of the gardens, Amanda and Dutch got to relax, drink champagne, and toast their upcoming wedding day. I’m all about bringing props or some sort of experience for your engagement photos! Make them special – make them yours. We finished out the session by the front of the house – it was the perfect way to capture the sunset and bid Amanda and Dutch goodbye! 

They’ll be back on the blog soon with their September wedding at Boxwood Estate. But, until then, enjoy this gorgeous summer picnic engagement session at Reynolda Gardens!
