Rooster Front Park Engagement Session | Andrew & Tara

Danielle Defayette Photography Rooster Front Park Bristol Engagement 0006

As soon as I met Tara I felt as if we were instant best friends. She has this big personality and infectious smile that draws everyone to her. She’s the nicest person I’ve ever met and there isn’t a more deserving person for a happily ever after!

Andrew was the new kid at Tara’s high school and she immediately befriended him. It wasn’t long after reading parts in Romeo & Juliet together that they knew they felt a spark for each other and they’ve been together ever since!

Now they have Remi, their 70 pound fur baby, who they dote upon diligently. Andrew even incorporated her into his proposal to Tara this spring! He proposed to Tara whilst hiking in the mountains of North Carolina in front of a beautiful hidden waterfall. As Tara was digging in her backpack for Remi’s water dish she turned around to see Andrew kneeling down with an engagement ring!

So it was only appropriate that we go on a cute little hike with Remi for their fall engagement session at Rooster Front Park in Bristol! We had beautiful weather and a stunning sunset to really complete the wonderful session. I cannot wait to see these two tie the knot next June!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.
