Katie's Brother is engaged! Guess who photographed the engagement session!

Congratulations to these two lovebirds! We couldn't be happier - because Katie is getting a sister!

A few weeks ago, Katie's brother got engaged to a wonderful lady - and we are thrilled! So thrilled, in fact, that Katie went all the way up to Owego, NY to photograph their engagement session! Keep reading for all the beautiful details and all things Lingan!

My brother, Andrew had been dating Christie for about 5 years...and she has felt like part of the family for roughly 4.75 of those years. ;) They met at Virginia Tech, where they both studied engineering. When Andrew brought her home for the first time, she immediately fit in. Fast forward a few years, everyone knew they were going to get married, but my brother is the kind of guy who always has a game plan, but will never tell anyone. Christie's birthday was coming up, and Andrew had her fully convinced that an engagement ring was not in the picture. As Christie sat in the living room on the morning of her birthday, she remembered that Andrew had made her a cake the night before. When she asked him to come downstairs to frost the cake so she could eat it for breakfast (yes, breakfast), he came down the steps with a ring, and proposed. Right in the living room. In their pajamas. And I can't even begin to explain how perfectly that story sums up their relationship.

When it came time to shoot their engagement photos, I had so many ideas. Let's face it- I had practically been planning this shoot in my head for years! Since Christie moved to Maryland to be with my brother a few years ago, they have decided to get married here. However, Christie is originally from an adorable small town in upstate New York, called Owego. Her parents live in the mountains, and when fall rolls around, it's gorgeous. If you don't believe me, check out these photos! These were all taken at the "Testa Ranch", as we call it! We road tripped up there one weekend, got spoiled with Mommy Testa's cooking, and took a lot of photos. I can't wait to stand next to these two in October when they say "I do!"

Stay tuned for Katie's personal favorite moments (and photographs) from this autumn engagement session soon! Here's a little sampling of the adorable couple and the beautiful scenery!
