Jon + Melissa decided to get married this summer down by the ocean, but before leaving Monroe, they wanted some engagement photos together! We met at the Athens Botanical Gardens one evening when everything was truly blooming for summer! We walked the grounds, laughed, and captured them together as they celebrate this incredible season together!
It was such a joy to capture them and I hope you enjoy a few favorites from their engagement!









Still looking for a photographer for your Atlanta or Athens wedding, lets chat!
