Engagement Photos At Atlantic Beach, NC | Grace and Brandon

March 1, 2021

Engagement photos at beach house at Atlantic Beach, NC

This is Grace and Brandon’s first time on the blog but you will see them a lot more in the upcoming year! They wanted to have the best of both worlds (or seasons really!) for their engagement photos so we scheduled a smaller “save the date” session for some winter beach photos and will do their full engagement session later when it warms up.

Grace and Brandon are SO incredibly sweet. They grew up knowing of each other but Brandon didn’t ask Grace on a date until after college. Now as a couple they feel like they’ve always been in love. It was so comfortable and natural to work with them and I love that they were willing to take direction AND be playful and have fun. They were so welcoming and it was like we’ve always been friends!

We met at their family beach house so we could have a more sentimental location AND they could include their dog Gauge! We finally had a break in ALL of the rain we’ve been having for some sun and a light breeze on the beach. We were so thankful!

I cannot wait to hang out with them again and then be there for their big day this November!
