The love between Chase and Megan makes us believe in true love and we *truly* wanted to make it shine for their downtown Fairhope engagement photos.

It’s the stroll-in-the-park love.

The ride-or-die love.

The kind of love that people search for.

The love that lasts forever. 

They were once college sweethearts who went off in separate paths but their hearts found each other once again years later.

We were so excited to officially meet them when they asked us to be part of their big day. 

Shortly after, Chase went in for a routine checkup at the doctor and was delivered some unfortunate news: he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. 

We don’t know what the months ahead may bring for these two so we wanted to get an engagement session in quickly, before any treatments.

Fast forward to today…

We finally got to hug these two when we met up for their downtown Fairhope, AL engagement photos… starting in the Fairhope French Quarter!

We began near Panini Pete’s Cafe & Market on the iconic green wall and then walked around the block to De la Mare Ave!

One request Megan had was getting to The Bluff at Henry George Park in Fairhope to get the Spanish moss hanging from the oaks. So, we headed towards the water to get that beautiful golden hour glow!

Right before the sun began to set, we made our way to the Fairhope Pier for some twirls!

We’re so happy to have met these two and thankful they chose us to capture their wedding day this fall! We will be sending all the good vibes their way over the next few months as they not only plan their wedding but also Chase’s health to focus on.

XOXO, The Johnsons
