Richy & Alyson | North High Brewing & Jeffrey Mansion Engagement

December 16, 2016 • Leave a Comment

It was around eight months ago that I sat down with Richy and Alyson over coffee on a chilly evening and first heard snippets of their love story.
All love stories are special, but theirs warmed my heart because Richy and Alyson don't hide the imperfect parts of their journey, which has me thinking they'll be starting their marriage off on the right foot.

These two initially met online, and first hung out on - wait for it- Valentine's Day weekend. Isn't that fun? They hit it off right away, and were officially dating about a month and a half later.

They spent the summer together, falling in love, and working at helping each other make good life choices. Alyson talked about a time when they hadn't been to church in a number of weeks, but motivated each other to go one Sunday. That weekend their church just happened to be holding baptisms, and though they'd had no intention of being baptized that day when they woke up, God clearly had other ideas. They both chose to be baptized, and though it was a significant moment for them each individually, it was such a sweet gift that they were able to experience that moment together.

Alyson is a huge fan of craft beer, so many a date night was spent trying out local breweries. Richy and Alyson were on a brewery tour when they first came across North High Brewing. It quickly became a favorite spot of theirs, so when Alyson mentioned that she knew Gavin, one of the co-owners of the brewery, and that she was hoping to photograph some of their engagement session there, I was delighted! I do love new and unique locations, and this was not only that, it was also a part of their story.

We photographed the first part of their session midday before the brewery was open, then met up later that evening to finish their session and catch the pretty evening light at Jeffrey Mansion.

Richy and Alyson, you guys were just too much fun to photograph. Thanks for trusting me to capture this season of your story! Can't wait for the big day! ;)
