Sky and Brian
Sky and Brian met in high school English class, her sophmore year and his senior year. Sparks flew and they fell for one another, head over heels. Sharing their love for outdoors adventures, camping, shooting, riding dirt bikes and working on their vehicles they became inseparable. Brian proposed on their 4 year anniversary and they are now planning for a beautiful wedding this next year. I asked Sky how she knew he was the right one for her and she replied, "After he proposed I found out that he had asked my 3 older brothers permission to marry me since my dad is no longer with us and that's when I knew for sure I made the right decision by saying yes." They are such a sweet and down to earth couple and I wish them and their fur babies all the happiness in the world! Congrats to you both!
Lovisa and Michael
Lovisa and Michael's love story started with the Haste The Day farewell tour concert a few years back where they first met! They hit it off right from the get go, sparks flew, and they still have their concert ticket stubs! How cute is that!? Fast forward a few years and now they are engaged and have a beautiful daughter who's the light of their lives! Their session was so much fun and we were blessed with some incredibly gorgeous light! One particular part of the session they even showed off their matching tattoos! Before their daughter was born they decided they wanted to go with foxes as her themed animal. With the help of Aldo from Carmel Ink Tattoo he brought their vision to life. Two matching foxes. When I inquired more about their pieces Lovisa told me that hers was in color because it matched her bright and bubbly personality and Michael's matched his personality as well, more of a simple and laid back style. The time on the clock you are wondering about in the middle? It's the time their daughter was born! I was so in love with their tattoos and still am! Gorgeous! Their entire session Michael showed such a tenderness and understanding to his future wife and their daughter. Their love is something you can't help but smile at, it still sticks with me to this day. They may be night and day but their love for one another is so gentle and loving. I wish you both this best and am honored to have captured some memories for you and your family for years to come!
Bret & Shelbee
I met Bret and Shelbee from a free mini session they had won on my Facebook page! I had posted that I was wanting a recently engaged couple to photograph. The contestants were told to inbox me a picture of themselves, how long they'd been together and how he proposed. Lucky for Shelbee she had the most magical engagement....Bret proposed to her in from of the Magic Kingdom at Disney World!!! How perfect is that? Being a huge Disney fan myself I couldn't help but fall in love with these two. They were so easy going and fun, loved to talk and I love hanging out with them during their session. Once again, congratulations Bret and Shelbee on your engagement!!!
Leann and Kyle's Engagement
"Hey Katie, I was wondering if you could help me out?" is how it all started. Kyle was planning a surprise birthday party for his girlfriend Leann and on top of the birthday party, he was going to propose to her! Kyle was wondering if I would be able to capture the moment and take some photographs after as well. Of course I said yes! Their families were so kind and we when Leann arrived she was so surprised we all thought she was going to go after Kyle with a vengeance! Haha.
Then came the moment everyone had been anticipating even more....Kyle popped the question and she said YES!!! Not going to lie...but I was shaking right along with Kyle and my heart was racing with excitement!
A little later we went out back to the coolest handmade cabin I'd ever seen and had a little mini session. Her ring was gorgeous and there was so much love in the air! I was smiling the whole time and was just so happy for them!
They loved going out here to this special spot and fishing in the little stocked pond. They way they looked at each other, you could tell they were made for one another.
The sunset was beautiful and the perfect way to end a perfect day. Congrats Leann and Kyle!
