Counting The Days Until “I Do”

January 28, 2026

Katie and Pat’s engagement session was nothing short of dreamy, set among towering pillars and gorgeous greenery that felt straight out of a classic love story. Katie wore a stunning white dress, perfectly paired with an chic white scarf, and truly stole the spotlight. With Pat by her side, the two looked effortlessly elegant. This session was made so seamlessly beautiful by the laughter and joy that Katie and Pat share. You can’t look at these two and think anything except true love! They made sure to keep things light and fun for the ever-talented Ashlee Emerson Photography, by adding on a playful sunglasses moment to the otherwise intimate day. Counting down the days until we can see the pair say “I Do”!

Majoring in Marketing and English at High Point University, I reached out to my former high school English teacher Ms. Petosa to see if she knew of any marketing or English related summer internships. Serendipitously, Ms. Petosa - now I get to call her Caroline - was actually looking to expand the MESW team with a marketing associate and junior copywriter! I'm so excited to be joining the MESW team in a role that combines my two interests in an industry that is filled with so much joy and beauty around every corner!
