As we walked into the bar for their Miller’s Downtown engagement session, we were blown away. Or, at least, Sarah was. Despite having lived in Charlottesville for almost a decade, Sarah had somehow never stepped inside this Charlottesville icon. But we were so glad that Celia and Matt chose it for their session! As a UVA alum, Celia already loved Charlottesville. So the fact that Matt, a Georgia native, fell in love with it when they visited is pretty much the ultimate goal of any UVA grad. And Miller’s (and really Matt’s love for The Dave Matthews Band), played a big part of that growing love.

Celia and Matt were immediately easy to talk with. Many people take a minute to warm up to new people. But these two were friendly from the second they walked up to us! Whether drinking at the bar, walking the downtown mall, wandering on the roof of the parking garage, or holding the world’s longest kiss in a hot elevator, they were just fun to be around. And more than that, they were genuinely interested in getting to know us not just as their photographers, but as people. If that weren’t enough, the simple, kind way they interacted with each other was something altogether special.

Celia and Matt,

We had an amazing time with the two of you. We’re so glad that you suggested a Miller’s Downtown engagement session! We also loved hearing all about your plans for the wedding, as well as how you two fell in love with each other — and Charlottesville! We’re really looking forward to celebrating with you both in December and seeing how your dancing lessons go!

With love,
Sarah and Hunter
