From middle school to marriage—Arya and Drew’s love story is one for the books. We explored Downtown Raleigh for their fall engagement session ahead of their intimate wedding at Highgrove Estate next October.

John planned the perfect surprise proposal for Lindsay at The Umstead in Cary, complete with a hidden photographer and a post-proposal celebration with family. Set against the backdrop of golden fall leaves and a serene lake, this moment was nothing short of unforgettable. See the highlights from their beautiful engagement!
