Andrew & Katie got engaged!

Andrew & Katie got engaged!

I was apart of something so special!  Katie's dad contacted me about a surprise engagement for his daughter and I just couldn't pass it up!  Andrew's family had planned a party specifically so that he could propose to his high school sweetheart.  I was surrounded by both of Andrew and Katie's closest friends and family while he led her to the backyard where everyone lined up with the letters "will you marry me" spelled out in balloons.

Katie's reaction was filled with surprise and shock as well as excitement.  I had such a wonderful evening capturing this special moment and getting to know both of their families as well as their story.

Andrew and Katie met in high school and went to prom together and had been together ever since.  They have both graduated college and are now going to different graduate schools in different states and Andrew decided to go ahead and seal the deal before Katie went off to Tennessee.

Katie was so surprised and never expected to be proposed to.  She said that she thought that he was going to give her a horse as a going away gift but in a way he did!  The engagement ring Andrew gave her has two horse shoes on either side which is a perfect touch.

The Franco's Family Session, Lexington, South Carolina

The Franco's Family Session, Lexington, South Carolina

This family is so very special to me.  This is my best friend and her cute little family.  Moises and Rindy moved to Virginia for a job opportunity and only get to see Moises's son, Isiah, when they come to visit.  I can not express what this chick means to me.  She is such a beautiful person inside and out and Moises, Isiah and Marble are so sweet!

Dillon & Marina Doko Manor, Blythewood, South Carolina

Oh my how beautiful and fun this wedding was!!  I met with Dillon and Marina earlier this year in a fabulous desert restaurant in downtown Columbia called Kaminski's and knew right then that we would be such a great match to work together!  

Not only are they such an amazing looking couple but they are genuinely so sweet.  Their love radiates and fills the whole room when they walk in.  Please enjoy just a few of my favorite photos from their wedding!

P.S. Go and check out Marina's bridal portraits at 701 Whaley a little further down on the blog...

Tyler, Lauren & Evie, Gilbert, South Carolina

I just love early morning sessions.  That sunlight makes everything so beautiful!  I had the pleasure of meeting Tyler, Lauren and Evie early on a chilly Sunday morning for a family session in Gilbert on a soy bean field.  

Lauren was hoping for a session in a pumpkin patch but unfortunately we couldn't make that happen so we did the next best thing.... Tyler and Lauren brought with them 6 pumpkins.... It was fantastic!!
