Carson and Sydney’s engagement session at The Estate at River Run was effortlessly elegant and personal. Carson proposed one of the Estate’s most iconic spaces in the Wedgewood Ballroom. The setting was grand and intimate with its tall arched windows, historic architectural details, and soft afternoon light, fitting for such a meaningful moment. Carson got down on one knee, and their next chapter began just like that.

After the proposal, the couple took a moment to soak it all in before changing into outfits that reflected their classic, modern style. In one especially heartfelt gesture, Carson had thoughtfully planned ahead and surprised Sydney with a beautiful white dress for the occasion. The dress was simple and stunning—just like the moment. Sydney changed into the gown, and Carson donned a tailored dark suit. Together, they looked timeless.

They spent the rest of the afternoon walking the property at The Estate at River Run and capturing moments in some of the Estate’s most photogenic spots. Each space offered something different—from the light-filled staircases to the ornate details of the interiors—but what stood out most was how at ease Carson and Sydney were with each other.

It was a day full of quiet celebration, meaningful glances, and the kind of joy that doesn’t need much explaining. Now engaged, they’re simply excited to begin their forever together.
