I love when I receive a submission that has a sweet story to go along with it, and that’s exactly what I got with Philip + Angela’s adorable engagement session, sent over by ! Here is what Chelsea shared about this lovely couple and their session, which was inspired by their long distance relationship, and the cross country journey it took for them to finally be together…

“Philip and Angela kind of meet through different turn of events, and they never thought it would led to forever and always. The thing was Philip lived all the way in Washington (the STATE!) and Angela was all the way in North Carolina. Although most people think long distance relationships never work, these two knew this was something so special. Angela wrote to me in one of her first emails “I guess we just knew each other was an answer to long-time prayers, and we just love each other so much! He’s really everything I’ve always prayed for, hoped for, and wanted in a guy that I’d spend my life with. He’s so sweet and kind, has a great friendly and positive personality, and is a great match for me, plus he has dimples!” So after a time dating from far away, Philip decided to pick up his life and move all the way to NC so he could be near Angela. Almost a year later and Philip proposed to Angela! As a photographer I have never seen two people more in love.”
