Lauren + Justin | Colorado Engagement Photographer | Forest Engagement Photos

April 13, 2015

Another Bob & Dawn Davis workshop under my belt!  This one was held at the Ritz-Carlton Lodge in Greensboro, Georgia.  This is the venue where Carrie Underwood got married…how cool is that?!  I first met Lauren and Justin at the Davis workshop in Charleston.  On the final day of the workshop they came along with our bride and groom, Jenni and Stevn, and modeled for us.  So, they were already part of my engagement portfolio, but I was excited to take part in “real” engagement photos with them 🙂  They are such naturals in front of the camera (you would have to be with the workshop “paparazzi” photographing you!).  I plan to share posts of their rehearsal dinner, their wedding day, as well as their post-wedding “rock the dress” shoot!  So check back soon.

I am typically a Colorado engagement photographer, but it’s always nice to experience and photograph new places!  The Ritz-Carlton Lodge is a great spot with a lot of variety.  It is on a lake, there are beautiful trees all over, there was a cute swing, and a little bridge with a fountain.  The indoor lodge reminds me of a lot of rustic Colorado wedding venues…I felt right at home 🙂
