Natalie and Isaac’s Fall engagement session

Natalie & Isaac’s Sunrise Rooftop Engagement in Harrisonburg

We’ve had quite the fall, with many of our spring and summer couples photographing their engagements- but there were a few things that made Natalie and Isaac’s engagement session stands out

a. their session was at sunrise.. and it was beautiful!
b. Natalie’s infectious laugh… it comes at you right through the computer screen.
c. this was our very first ROOFTOP engagement session! Isaac had some connections to a rooftop in the middle of downtown Harrisonburg and the views were incredible!
d. They were one of the first couples to get married On Sunny Slope Farm.

You’re in for a treat!

Natalie and Isaac were high school sweethearts who went to prom together and never wanted the good times to end. So four years later, here we are, getting ready to celebrate these two easy going, fun, sweet people getting married! We can’t wait to be there when they say I do!

We wandered from their wedding venue (On Sunny Slope Farm) to the downtown rooftops, and ended at Klines Dairy Bar where they told us MANY dates happened (we can definitely relate to that one- ice cream is one of our love languages too!). These two are one of our favorite couples ALSO because they introduced us to Billy Jack’s– let’s just say BEST chicken and waffles (and doughnuts) ever! Yes, you guys, we did take you up on the recommendation and it was SO worth it! Thank you!

Enjoy a “few” of our favorites from our time with these guys!
