laura and dale {just because}

Meet Favor Me Events couple, Laura and Dale!

Mere days after they booked my services for full planning, Laura insisted that they have a "just because" session to document their engagement. You see, Laura recently passed the North Carolina Bar exam {yay!} and thought now that she is practicing law, it was time to cut her hair for a more corporate look.

But before losing her locks {and generously donating them to Locks of Love}, Laura wanted to take the opportunity to document their proposal. Keeping it as true to form as possible, we headed to Lake Norman State Park with her locks and even some of the same clothes  from the engagement day.

Laura and Dale both love nature, camping and fishing-- really anything and everything that I do not know too much about. Styling the shoot gave me a great opportunity to get to know them better for the months of planning that are ahead of us.

Both from Latrobe, Pennsylvania {not too far from where I grew up}, I thought we would incorporate Rolling Rock beer. And as avid fishers, I hand-crafted a "reel love" swag for the shoot as well.  Pun intended!

Critsey Rowe Photography documented the shoot, and as always, did a fantastic job. Here are some shots from the day...

Laura and Dale are set to marry next July at The Point Lake and Golf Club-- so stay tuned for more of their story!

with love.
