Brittany & Brandon’s Hawksbill Mountain Engagement Session
If you ware wanting a unique engagement session experience in the Western North Carolina high country, with big views and a fun hike, then you should consider a Hawksbill Mountain Engagement Session with me! Hawksbill is located on the eastern rim of the Linville Gorge near the community of Jonas Ridge, NC. The hike to get to the top of Hawksbill Mountain is about 40 minutes and is rated a “black diamond” on the trail map at the trailhead. So needless to say, it is a difficult hike… but totally worth it!

How did y’all meet?
Brandon was Brittany’s friend’s roommate. They were roommates for over a year but the two didn’t meet until Memorial Day Weekend 2019. Brandon came home from a long day out on the lake as Brittany and her friend were just getting ready to go out on the town. Brandon offered Brittany an iron for her wrinkly dress.
When and where did you go on your first date?
A week aFter we met, we went to a Luke Bryan concert at Pnc paviLion
Tell me about your first date together?
Brandon texted Brittany the morning of the Cole Swindell/Luke Bryan concert except her phone was broken and she didn’t see the message until hours before the concert. She took a leap of faith and went to the concert without a phone but with her friend’s roommate. They still have a picture that his coworker took of the two of them that night.
How did you fall in love?
Brandon realized he loved Brittany when he was away on one of his business trips and missed their times together. He tried writing it in the foam of a beer at a brewery with a foam printer on the day he got back but it wouldn’t work. Brittany realized she loved Brandon when he cared for her after she got hurt working out.
When/where did he/she propose?
Brandon proposed on Christmas Eve 2020. Brittany’s dad walked into the restaurant with their dog Stella and she just figured it was to get a picture in front of the awesome Christmas tree and that she was wearing her personalized name ornament on her neck. However, Stella’s ornament actually said “will you marry me?”
