Braving the winter ocean air, Chris and Marissa joined me at Honeymoon Island to commemorate their engagement in photos. In walking lengths of beach, I learned that the couple met approximately four and a half years ago and bonded over their shared alma mater, East Carolina University. They share an infectious laugh and a love for sarcasm. I’m looking forward to photographing their Big Day in September 2022. Congratulations Chris and Marissa!
