A Classic Engagement Session at The Georgia State Capitol

Rich made the bold move of sliding into Brielle’s DMs—but if you ask him, he’ll probably say Brielle slid into his! Either way, that first message sparked something special, and from there, their connection grew effortlessly. What started as a simple DM turned into deep conversations, daily FaceTimes, and ultimately, the long-distance love story that brought them here today almost 5 years later!

“For our engagement session, Rich and I envisioned something dreamy and timeless, a visual story that captured the depth of our love and the journey we’re on together. The Georgia State Capitol was the perfect backdrop for our shoot—its grand architecture and historic elegance provided a striking contrast to the warmth and intimacy of our connection. The stunning marble columns, intricate details, and golden dome gave the photos a sense of sophistication and permanence, just like the love we share.” See all of the gorgeous details from their engagement session, captured by Emmanuel Brooks.

Place of Residence: Atlanta, GA

Engagement Shoot Location: Georgia State Capitol

Wedding Date: September 26th, 2025

Engagement story Rich proposed on Positano Spiaggia in September 2023, with the Amalfi Coast as our backdrop. The beach was full of people, but at that moment, it felt like we were the only two there. As the sun dipped behind the cliffs and the waves rolled in, he got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him. For a split second, everything else faded away—it was just us, the sea, and the start of something unforgettable.

What are you most looking forward to about your wedding? Rich and I are most looking forward to saying “I do” in one of our favorite cities, surrounded by a small group of our family and closest friends. Over the past five years, we’ve created so many incredible memories in Las Vegas, making it the perfect place to celebrate our love and step into our Marriage Era. The city that never sleeps has been the backdrop for some of our best moments, and now, it will hold one of the most meaningful ones yet—the start of our forever.
