Shooting our engagement photos in downtown Fredericksburg, VA.
First Date Story
Greg and Leandra first met at a river clean-up at City Dock Park June 7th 2013 and time past until they met again at one of her work events in early December 2013. Afterword, Leandra asked Greg on a coffee date at Hyperion (a coffee shop in town). Greg eagerly accepted the invitation and they spent a couple of hours talking with each other on the coffee date and the rest is history...
Proposal Story
Greg had been planning on asking Leandra to marry him before they went on their trip to France. However, he did not have the engagement ring yet, so he decided to wait. Once Greg got his Great Grandmother Sophia's engagement ring he started looking for the right moment to propose to Leandra. Leandra then asked Greg if he wanted to go hike to the summit of a mountain in the Shenandoah National Park, called Old Rag. Greg said yes immediately and started planning on how he was going to propose to her.
They left at 5:30 am to beat the hiking crowd and arrived at 7 am to the base of the mountain and started their hike up to the summit. After the initial 2 and a half hours of hiking they made it to the top of the mountain. Greg found a nice quiet place overlooking a valley and asked Leandra to marry him. After a couple of seconds that felt like minutes to Greg he asked, "so does that mean yes?" Leandra said, "Yes yes yes, of course!"
They popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate, ate their lunch, continued the hike down the mountain, and started immediately planning their wedding.
