Why not dress up and have a night out in downtown Roanoke for your engagement pictures? And if it ends at Texas Tavern that is a plus!

Love is a powerful emotion that can bring two people together, creating a bond that withstands the test of time. For Amelia and Eddie, their love story is one that started with a simple date at Sidecar. Eddie remembers seeing Amelia's infectious smile when she got out of the car. The dinner they had together and the stories they shared with each other helped to show that they both had similar interests, the chemistry was there.

They share a passion for going for long walks in their neighborhood, drinking a coffee and dreaming about their future. They also share a deep admiration for each other's qualities, which have strengthened their relationship over time.

When I met Travonia & Tim they were both nervous about pictures. Travonia said she wasn’t a huge lover of getting her picture taken and I knew I had to break that for her!

The Penthouse at Center in the Square is their wedding venue and they really wanted to include it in their engagement session as well. After the first shots I knew we were going to have a blast and I felt them both relaxing more and more in front of my camera, allowing me to see their true personalities come through.
