Hunter and I like to think that we understand long-distance dating, since we dated long-distance all through college. But Hunter and I lived 140 miles away from each other and tried to see each other every 2-4 weeks. Ari and Dallin, on the other hand, lived more than 2,000 miles away from each other for almost two years of their relationship! While Dallin was at school in Idaho and Ari was in their native Northern Virginia. Then, just a few months after finally moving to the same state again, the quarantine hit the breaks on their time spent together again 😩

But it isn’t all bad news! When we got together with Ari and Dallin at Pen Park in Charlottesville for their engagement session, they were in high spirits. They’re fairly newly engaged, and still in the early phases of wedding planning. Right now, they’re focusing instead on getting through this pandemic and keeping their relationship strong. Wedding planning can come a little bit later! And during our session, they were so eager to chat and learn more about us, something that we aren’t used to during sessions!

Ari + Dallin,

It was so fun to meet you two last month and get you both in front of our cameras! Between Dallin’s natural smile and Ari’s fierce “smize” (smile with your eyes, thanks Tyra!), we couldn’t get enough of you two! And considering the forecast looked like it was going to rain us out at any minute, we got SO lucky with the beautiful sunset! You two were a dream to work with, and we can’t wait to see where life brings you both next 😁

With love,
Sarah + Hunter
