The Natural Bridge has been on my photography “bucket list” for a long time! When I heard that Addison proposed to Rebecca along the trail at the Natural Bridge I had to ask if they would go back there for their engagement portraits. It was such a joy marking off this bucket list location on my places to photograph at with them because not only is it gorgeous, this was a place that meant a lot to Addison and Rebecca. All the way at the end of the trail, away from the crowd, by the waterfall Addison asked one of the most important questions he could ask Rebecca.

Rebecca and Addison are high school sweethearts! They have been through deployments and college years together. Addison told me while walking along the trail, in his words that Rebecca “stuck by me,” and that they stuck by each other as both pursued their different careers and dreams. Which meant, when you find someone that sticks with you… through it all that they are meant to be there… through it all! It was beautiful to hear that explanation which makes me only more excited for their wedding day and to see these two take that step together. 

The Natural Bridge was such a gorgeous location and trail to photograph at, we spent such a long time walking around and photographing them in all the different locations the trail had to offer! Congratulations Rebecca and Addison, I can’t wait until the Fall for your wedding day!
