Ben and Shanika » Engagement

I had the priviledge of photographing Ben and Shanika this week in various parts of downtown Chattanooga, and they were a blast.

Shanika has been a friend for a while now, and was actually a bridesmaid in my wedding almost four years ago! She’s full of life, super authentic, and just beautiful! Ben is an awesome match for her, and I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in August!

Ben and Shanika are a great couple with loads of personality and they proved to be wonderfully easy to photograph!
