Who else feels like it’s been raining everyday for the past month? I know I do! The morning of Thomas and Nicole’s engagement session was so gloomy and looked like it could pour down rain at any moment. I asked Nicole if she wanted to reschedule or go for it and she wanted to go for it. I’m so glad she did because we had the most fun time in Clifton. I love getting to know my couples better during their engagement session. For Thomas and Nicole’s engagement session, I found out that Nicole loves old keys and will be incorporating old keys into their wedding decor and I was able to met and photograph their beautiful one year old Australian shepherd, Shelby.

Thomas and Nicole visit this quaint small town often and are having their rehearsal dinner at one of the restaurants. This town is special to them so it was only fitting we photographed their engagement session there. It’s been years since I’ve photographed in Clifton but with it’s small town charm, it’s hard not to absolutely love this quaint little town.

Looking forward to photographing Thomas and Nicole’s spring wedding in April 2020! See a few of my favorites from their Spring Clifton Engagement Session.
