Staunton, VA Engagement Session: Tyler & Lindsay

Did you ever have the kind of friend in high school that would go on a drive with you to nowhere when you were sad? Or the kind of friend whose house almost felt like a second home and whose parents felt like they were also raising you? A kind of friend you could belt out loud songs with and they’d love you even though you didn’t have the best singing voice?

Lindsay was that friend for me. We knew each other since 7th grade, We slowly developed into closer and closer friends until we had a little gang going in high school. We did theatre, we did everything else too outside of school. We had the same friends, we slept over all of the time, we danced in the rain, we went to Barnes and Noble way too many times just because we had nothing else to do. Lindsay and I grew up together, came into being adults together and she will always be precious and important to me because of all that we’ve been through together. Lindsay was even there when Scott proposed to me - literally taking the pictures.

One of the things that I admire about Lindsay is that all the dreams we talked about in college - she actually went for them. We talked again and again about moving to NYC together, conquering the world, etc. Lindsay actually DID attend NYU for a short-time. And then she continued to pursue being a teacher who changes the lives of youth. I admire her for all that she was, all that she is and all that she will be. I’m more than happy that she found someone to spend forever with and can’t wait to celebrate with them in April.

I am SO honored to take these engagement photos for my high school bestie. She and her love even met me in Staunton, only 20 minutes from where I live, but a 1.5 hours from them. Thankful for the chance to meet the guy that stole this beautiful woman’s heart!

Tyler and Lindsay - a huge congratulations on your engagement.
