Kimberly and Brian wrote us a little over a month ago about their upcoming wedding at the Inn at Warner Hall. Little did we know that we’d get to be destination wedding photographers for them!!
We Skyped that evening. The four of us just clicked!
Kim and Brian are nothing short of amazing, in every sense of the word.
They’ve been together for several years now and live in Charlotte, North Carolina. That’s where we met them for their destination engagement session.
Kim is a gorgeous woman with a fantastic sense of style, with a great sense of humor to match it.
Brian’s a quiet guy with a soft smile. He has a great sense of humor too and we loved seeing a twinkle in his eyes as he played with Kim on camera.
She’s a Newport News native who is into fantasy (she even has a role in the Hunger Games movie!).
He prefers sports to Lord of the Rings…
But one thing they love to do together is to travel. And travel they do.
Probably their biggest adventure so far, they told us, was a safari in Africa. It climaxed with a trek through the jungle to a meeting with a band of gorillas (I looked it up, band is the proper collective noun, lol). They shared photos of themselves sitting in the jungle surrounded by baby gorillas, female gorillas… even a big silverback male. That was pretty intense.
Egypt, Greece, Italy, Germany… you name it, they’ve probably been there.
The setting for their engagement session was Freedom Park in Charlotte, NC.
And just as the sun was setting, and we packed away our film, and we didn’t think it could get any better… they took us out to eat on a double date.
We walked into the doors of The Waldhorn and we were transported back to Germany. We spent the evening with good German food, meats, potatoes, breads. Wir haben den ganzen Abend mit unseren neuen freunden gefeiert.*
Kimberly and Brian, thank you so much for letting us get to know you and your love story. We’re so thrilled and excited about your upcoming wedding in good ole’ Gloucester, VA! See you soon!
