When Katy and I started dreaming up her and Gray’s engagement session, she mentioned the met in sailing school one summer over a decade ago on vacation (yeah, cool right?). Immediately I thought “what if we could do part of your session on a sailboat” and we jumped right into the planning. I met them in Beaufort, North Carolina, where their families have been vacationing forever. We were able to book a sunset cruise and it was so dreamy just sailing along the bay with champagne and flowers…well-they looked chic at least. Meanwhile I was just trying not to fall off of the boat if I’m being honest…mission accomplished!! I cannot wait for you to see some of my favorites from our time together below, and as always, don’t forget to celebrate love!
