What a beautiful and colorful Fall engagement session we have to share with you today! We were in the Beaver Falls, PA area, which probably means nothing to people who aren’t from around there since it’s pretty small, but it’s close to Pittsburgh & had lot of vibrant, lovely trees a few weeks ago! Vanessa is from the area, but she & Elliot now live in Southern West Virginia so getting up here was rather a trek. Thankfully their engagement session day was sunny & gorgeous! And we can’t wait for their wedding next year at The Gathering Place (one of our fav wedding venues, for sure!). Oh, and as if Vanessa & Elliot weren’t cute enough, they brought their adorable puppy Dixie along with them & she was so photogenic.
There’s a lot of amazing qualities to notice about these two, but Vanessa’s hair was the first thing that really stood out! She is stunning & we can’t wait to see what her bridal look will be! Elliot said her hair was the first thing he noticed & liked about her, too. They are so sweet together! They met through mutual friends while they were both attending different colleges. The attraction was definitely mutual & it went from there. And here they are- engaged! 
And their proposal story is really wonderful! Elliot took Vanessa to what she thought was just going to be a night out in Pittsburgh, but it turned out he took her up on Mount Washington (which overlooks the Point & the city skyline) and then got her to look through a coin-operated viewfinder. She saw some beautiful sights & then something completely unexpected- family members were at the Point holding up signs just for her asking, “Will you marry me?” What a mountaintop experience! (See what we did there? hehe). 
Oh, Dixie, what a little love you are! 
Vanessa needs to just stop it right now with her model great looks! 
This is a fav. The chemistry between these two. . . so good! 
And then we found the quaintest & most adorable gravel road.
You know I can’t resist throwing leaves during a Fall session as corny as it may be. I cannot help it! 
Vanessa & Elliot, thanks for such a fun afternoon! We’re really looking forward to the big day in August in The Gathering Place!
