Stewart+Andrea
Engaged

Andrea and Stewart just so happened to meet at work.

While their friendship blossomed, Stewart’s feelings began to change for Andrea. He longed to show her all that she deserved, to really be her knight in shining armor. He would soon have his chance to come riding in and swoop Andrea off her feet.

Finding out that the feelings were mutual, he took every chance to show Andrea what a true gentleman looks like. She was his lady and he was her man. He wouldn’t let another day to go by without her!

Thankfully, he wouldn’t have to – the two were essentially inseparable from that point forward. And their friends and family were just as excited about the union. They were simply meant to be “Andrea + Stewart.”

Andrea and Stewart, from the first email you ever sent us, we knew we were a perfect match for each other. You are both thoughtful, kind and a whole lot of fun. This engagement session only made us like you more. We cannot wait for your upcoming wedding this July. It is set to be fabulous! Congratulations again!

Adam+Jessica:
Engaged

While politics are often known to divide and separate people, this was not the case for these two.

Adam and Jessica met at a political campaign. Jessica noticed him right away, but it seems that Adam was playing a little “hard to get.” Thankfully, the act was short lived and they soon found themselves in a long distance relationship.

When Adam finally decided to pop the question, he knew he was going to have to orchestrate some very stealth-like moves if he was going to be successful at surprising Jessica. Let’s just call her curious and leave it at that.

Leading up to the big day, there were moments that put the entire operation at risk. But Adam wasn’t easily swayed. He continued on, making sure no detail was overlooked. He decided he would propose to Jessica at a secluded lookout point during a hike with their closest friends. Everyone who needed to know knew. All was in place.

Adam thought everything was in place until he learned the week of the proposal that Jessica didn’t want a proposal in front of others. Too many people were involved to change any of the plans at this stage. He knew that if anything was altered, he ran the risk of alerting Jessica. Adam decided he would figure things out on the hike.

And that’s exactly what he did. During the hike, the group stopped for lunch at the exact lookout point where he wanted to propose. While everyone was settling down for a break, he took the opportunity to go off alone with Jessica down to the rock’s edge. Adam got down on his knee and asked Jessica to marry him. They may have had onlookers from a distance, but there was nobody close enough to hear the intimacy of this moment. It will be forever theirs.

Adam and Jessica, congratulations again! It was so much fun photographing the two of you, as I’m sure you’ll see in the photos. I’m not sure who laughed more – you or us. We are so excited for your upcoming wedding in June. Cheers to celebrating your love!

Michael + Kate:
Engaged

Before the internet and the world of online dating, people used to get matched up by their friends. A person’s BFF would size up the potential candidate. And just like with online dating, their appearance, general interests, and compatibly would all be factored into the perfect equation to see if they’d be a right fit.

This is precisely how Michael and Kate started dating. Their mutual friends did the math and thought they’d be the perfect pair. They should be given a cupid award for their match making efforts because Michael and Kate have been together since high school.

Having been together for so many years, their love is acquainted, familiar and strong. Their roots have grown deep and a foundation has been set. They are ready to grow old with each other by their side.

Kate and Michael – thank you for giving us the absolute pleasure of documenting your love. To say it was fun would be an understatement. The location, the light, the two of you – it was all perfectly romantic. We are so excited to be photographing your wedding this upcoming October. Cheers to celebrating you!
