Engagement

Happy Spring, friends! I love this time of the year when the air warms up and the flowers and trees start blooming! So when Angela suggested taking engagement photos at Atlanta National Golf Club in the spring, I knew it’d be absolutely beautiful! In addition to be a gorgeous spot that Angela & Piyush frequent when they play golf together, Angela’s grandfather was also the president of Atlanta National when she was a kid!
