Josh met Anna as teenagers playing a big game of flashlight tag. Well, they kind of met. He was so good at hiding that she never even saw him - but he saw her, and I’m pretty sure he’ll be chasing Anna the rest of his life. They dated through college and they’re getting married on New Years’ Day 2022! But their engagement session was anything but wintery. We met in Roanoke, Virginia for their session and we fully embraced the heat, the hustle and the beauty of downtown. Anna has always loved Roanoke since she first visited, and we had so much fun exploring the area together!

Josh is an old-fashioned man: He asked her dad’s permission. He bought a little piece of land to settle down together. And they’re just about to build their first home together, with the help of the local Amish builders. We’re always excited to see our Tribe put down deep roots close to family. (Speaking of family, you may already know one of her brothers: Eric and his bride-to-be Lauren are also part of the Tribe!)

While we wait for Josh & Anna’s wedding this winter, take a look at these romantic moments from their session!
