Lauren & Ryan :: Engaged!

Meet Lauren and Ryan, one cute couple getting married in just under a year!  This couple and I have a lot in common!  From the fact that we live practically a block from each other, to the fact that they got engaged on my wedding day(!), to the fact that Ryan and my hubby both work at the same company, I think it's got to be more than a coincidence that I'm their wedding photographer!  ;)  I can't wait for their beautiful, outdoor wedding next October!  Enjoy the photos of this lovely couple!

Love Lauren's freckles.

Talk about bling!  I love it! :)

Thanks so much for spending the evening hanging out with me, Lauren and Ryan!  I hope you love your photos, and I can't wait for your big day!!

Sara & Travis :: Engaged!

Meet Sara and Travis . . . an engaged couple that, like more and more these days, met each other online!  As many of you know, I met my husband online as well, so it makes me super excited to see others find their soul mate the same way!

Sara admitted that her first impression of Travis when he messaged her was "He's a serial killer!"  Haha, seriously!  How many people can say that was their first impression of their spouse?  Obviously, suspicions run a little higher when you meet people online!  But she soon found out that several of her friends knew him, and they assured her he was a great guy!  She's quite happy that she took that chance. :)

Sara and Travis, the two of you are great together!  I can't wait for your wedding in October!!

Enjoy your photos!

These photos were taken under the Wishing Tree, a special tree decorated this way only during the Chinese Lantern festival at the Botanical Gardens.  It's said that if you toss one of the large, golden coins with a ribbon tail into the tree, your wishes will come true.  Sara and Travis, here's to all of your wishes coming true for your life and your marriage! :)
