A November Engagement Session | Madison, GA

Katherine and Josh’s late fall engagement session was beautifully captured by Rachel this last November! One great thing about being in Georgia is that the fall extends almost to Thanksgiving. The grass is definitely a more muted green, but it blends perfectly with those fiery fall colors! Combined with the cooler temperatures and less humidity, it’s one of our favorite months!
