Jonah and Hannah | Harpers Ferry, West Virginia Engagement Photographer

I’m kicking off the fall engagement season with Jonah and Hannah’s sweet engagement portraits!!! This session has been months in the making! 🙂 Unfortunately, the rain has pushed us back a little bit, but I’m SO glad the rain decided to work around our schedule this time! Just as we were leaving, the rain came in. Whew!!! Talk about great timing. 😉 Jonah, Hannah and I met at Harpers Ferry where I was ecstatic to finally photograph these two! It’s an incredible honor to photograph their engagement/wedding day because Hannah is a great friend of my family! In fact, my brother is her “Man of Honor!” How fun will that be next month when I photograph their wedding day?! Cannot WAIT!

It’s a wonder how Hannah and Jonah have time to plan their big day next month! I was amazed chatting with them on Friday, thanking them for making these photos work in their schedules. Hannah is a flight attendant and is out of town for the majority of the week, and Jonah sells cars in my hometown, at Country Chevrolet! They only moved to Virginia a month or two ago, so between their jobs, moving and planning a wedding, I can only imagine they are ready for their honeymoon. 😉

I loved how relaxed they were during our time together as if this wasn’t their first time in front of the camera, and indeed it was their first time as a couple! 🙂 Total naturals! Jonah makes Hannah so happy, and I love seeing her smile/laugh shine through every one of these photographs!! 🙂 I know this will only be amplified on their wedding day when they finally get to say YES to forever!!! It’s going to be so special. <3

Thank you, Jonah and Hannah, for coming out to Harpers Ferry with your joyful enthusiasm! Your love for one another is evident looking through these photos! <3 I cannot waittttt to photograph you two again in a month! Congrats!! XOXO!
