Matt and Brittany met in high school. Brittany was getting into rock climbing and introduced Matt to it also. They started to partner up on climbs and hang out more. Soon climbing partners turned friends….turned more than friends. Now Brittany works with a veterinarian and Matt is an engineer, but they still make plenty of room for climbing in their lives. And they’ve also decided to spend the rest of their lives together which is pretty awesome.

Brittany asked if we could do their engagement session at Great Falls, VA because they wanted to incorporate some rock climbing into their photos. I thought that was a  great idea so we met up early on a Saturday morning in May along with their dog, Pie. It was fascinating learning a few things about climbing as we hiked to the rocks.  So far their favorite place to climb is Yosemite, and they are planning to spend their honeymoon in Spain….rock climbing of course. They may have a new favorite location. So amazing!  I enjoyed getting to know Matt and Brittany while spending the morning with them. Brittany had some crazy stories from working at the vet office (an operation on a fish’s eye and wallabies!?!).  I’m looking forward to their simple wedding early this fall at the Kentlands Mansion. I’m sure these two will fit in some great climbing before then.
