Woodlake + Belt Line Station Engagement Photos

Creative Portrait at a Belt Line Station Engagement session in Durham, NC

Katie & Paxton: Woodlake + Belt Line Station Engagement Photos

These two get married at Belt Line Station in less than a month!!! We joked about being on Plan Q or so. This was my first time getting to meet them in person, because Covid kept us from an initial meeting over drinks, but they are the sweetest couple and total rockstars at smiling and laughing through an engagement session. We started at the trail that goes through their neighborhood in Woodlake before getting some portraits at their house with Nilla the adorable vanilla wafer/dog, and finally we wrapped up at Belt Line Station itself.

T minus about 3 weeks til wedding day!!

Engagement session in your neighborhood - Woodlake, Durham

This is where they get to go on neighborhood walks!! Living downtown has its perks, but we have to go a couple miles away to the greenway to get nature like this. Katie & Paxton just head across the street.
