An Athens Georgia Anniversary Photoshoot

Meet Maren and Griffin! Griffin is our brother and it's one of our favorite things to have him and his beautiful wife in front of our camera. We photographed their wedding last year as well but have to wait to share it as it's being featured on another blog! Until then, I hope you enjoyed this anniversary session and stay tuned for more of this couple!

In the meantime, here's their proposal story!

Griffin and I decided to take a trip for my 28th birthday in 2014.  We decided to go to Asheville.  We had talked about getting engaged in the future, but I had no idea he was going to propose that weekend!  He had originally planned to propose at the Biltmore Estate, but we found out it's $50 a person to go walk around there!  So we scratched that idea.  He then suggested we go to the Botanical Gardens in Asheville and the North Carolina Arboretum.  But it was February and there were pretty much zero live plants.  On the last day of our trip Griffin mentioned he kind of wanted to see a waterfall.  I ended up finding a waterfall outside of Asheville that was on the way back to Athens.  So we made a pit stop on the way back.  The first waterfall we went to was called Hooker Falls.  We were able to get up really close to it!  After standing down by the waterfall for a few minutes, I turned to walk back.    As I did, Griffin said "Wait, I want to ask you something" and got down on one knee and proposed!!
