Not only is it important to backup your pictures, documents, digital life in at least if not more than two separate places – because you can never be too careful – for this photographer backups are important because it helps you put together an editorial calendar for your blog! No seriously – as I was working on making an offsite backup of images today I stumbled upon sessions that in my profound absent-mindedness totally forgot to write about. And this engagement session of the soon-to-be Crook’s is too adorable not to share!

I first met Meagan + Coydarel in July at the beautiful Eno River to take their engagement photos. I loved that they decided to include their Alaskan Malamute puppy, Khalua, in their photos ♥ and that they got up super early to drive from Jacksonville in order to take advantage of a cool summer morning. HUGE THANK YOU to Meagan’s cousin, Lynsey, and her mother for meeting us that morning to keep Khalua occupied during the remaining parts of our session.

Meagan + Coydarel are getting married next weekend and I am going to keep a lot of the details hush-hush until I have some pictures to show you because this is going to be one seriously beautiful wedding! Here are a few of my favorites from their engagement session:

Can’t wait to celebrate with you both next weekend ♥
