Foggy Mountain Lake Engagement Session // Newport, Virginia Engagement Photographer

I’m so excited to finally share this sweet engagement session! A huge thank you to Renee and Doug for hanging in there with me while we struggled to find a day where it wasn’t raining this fall to schedule this shoot. We tried dodging hurricanes and storms and everything in between (all the while Renee trained for a marathon!). But we finally found a day that worked.

That being said, our scheduled session still didn’t land on a perfectly sunny day. Fog and clouds were creeping through the mountains, but I was excited for the different mood it would give these photos. I love the earthy tones it gave the images, and think it made for a really soft, romantic look.

Renee and Doug are both originally from New York, but now live in North Carolina, so I got to introduce them to a small taste of the mountains in Southwest Virginia! We took these on an overlook on the way to Mountain Lake Lodge. If you didn’t know, Mountain Lake’s claim-to-fame is that it was where Dirty Dancing was filmed.

Congrats to Renee and Doug on their engagement! I’m so excited to be a part of their wedding this coming Spring!
