Late fall magic and love in full bloom – that’s the vibe Nat and Chris brought to their engagement session at the WRAL Azalea Gardens in Raleigh, NC. Despite the day threatening a bit of gloominess, we ended up with the most fantastic glowy fall morning.

Their Love Story

Let’s talk about a love story that’s straight out of a rom-com. Nat and Chris bumped into each other’s lives in 2012 in Japan, where Chris, a Navy hero, was stationed. After a brief two months, Chris had to wave goodbye, but the friendship lingered. Now just two years ago, the universe conspired to bring them back together. January 2023 saw them back in Japan, not just for a visit but for a milestone. In the place where it all began, Chris popped the question, sealing their fate amidst the beauty of the land that witnessed their journey.
