Liz Anne & Reed are engaged! /// Fernandina Beach Wedding Photographer

For Liz Anne & Reed, their love story goes beyond the two of them.  It also includes their 3 year old son Ammons who is their greatest joy in life.  But first, their love story begins 10 years ago when Liz Anne & Reed first met at a bar.  Reed introduced himself to Liz Anne but she quickly brushed him off.  Liz Anne swears she doesn’t remember this moment, but a few weeks later, what she does remember is that she saw him playing in a band and just had to meet him! “His voice is no doubt a gift from Heaven,” Liz Anne said. “Watching him on stage is mesmerizing.”

Fast forward 10 years, and Reed took Liz Anne for a “birthday celebration” earlier this year.  He blind folded her and took her to their favorite “restaurant” which turned out to be a breathtaking lake view at their lake house which had music playing in the background, a champagne bottle, dozens of floating candles in the lake, chocolate covered strawberries and more.  He gave her a birthday card, and while she was reading it, Reed got down on one knee and presented her a gorgeous ring asking him to marry her!  ”Reed was so overtaken by emotion it was hard for him to get the question out,” Liz Anne described. “I said YES!”  And within minutes, their son Ammons appeared dressed in a bow tie and a bouquet of roses ready to join the celebration!

For their engagement session, they didn’t want it to just be about the two of them, they wanted it to include the three of them, so this engagement session is partly a family session as well.  Here’s some of our favorites below!
