From Gettysburg Beginnings to a Cross-Country “Yes”: Katie + Luke’s Engagement Session
Katie + Luke’s love story is one for the books 🤍. What started in Gettysburg has carried them across miles of adventure, a proposal with two unforgettable rings, and a future wedding that’s bound to be filled with so much joy.
While on a 13-day cross-country road trip from Pennsylvania to Montana, Luke got down on one knee in Minneapolis—with not one ring, but two. The first? A sterling silver “bread tie knot” they always joked about when they said they were too poor for a real ring. The second? His grandmother’s heirloom ring, carrying a legacy of love through generations. 🥹✨
That blend of humor, sentiment, and deep connection sums up their story perfectly—equal parts playful and timeless.
I had the honor of photographing Katie + Luke’s engagement session in the charming town of Gettysburg, the very place where their journey first began. It felt less like a session and more like catching up with old friends. Their laughter, their ease with one another, and the way they naturally fit together made every moment a joy to capture.
The Federal Pointe Inn graciously welcomed us onto their beautiful property, offering a stunning backdrop for portraits that feel elegant and full of character. To top it off, they even surprised Katie + Luke with a bottle of champagne to celebrate their engagement! 🥂 Moments like that remind me how much love and kindness surround this couple.
Katie + Luke’s connection radiates warmth. Whether they’re reminiscing about their road trip proposal, strolling the streets of Gettysburg hand-in-hand, or popping champagne at the inn, every moment is so authentically them. Their joy is contagious, their love is steady, and their story is only just beginning. 💫
Katie + Luke will be saying “I do” in June 2027, and I can already tell it will be such a heartfelt, beautiful celebration of love, family, and legacy.
