GORGEOUS. Why have I never shot there before?! I loved that place!! We only had about 10 minutes to shoot before they closed and let me just say… we got a LOT accomplished in ten minutes!

So you may recognize Ryan. He was one of Michael’s groomsmen and was my next door neighbor during college. I remember when Ryan and Shannon first started talking. I would go over to the guys house and someone would say “Where’s Ryan?!”….. and the other guys would answer… “Where do you think?…… He’s with Shannon”.  When you’re looking for your soulmate and you think you found her… I think it’s pretty understandable why Ryan would want to spend as much time with her as possible. They became best friends. They dated throughout college and then Ryan graduated and they had to do long distance for a while.  I know from experience that long distance relationships are tough. They made it through that season of life and then came the proposal! We were ALL waiting for it! We knew it was coming… we just didn’t know when! So one night, when Michael shouted from behind his laptop “Ryan PROPOSED!!!”…. we were both so excited for these two!  What an amazing couple! I can’t WAIT for this wedding next summer!!! Ryan and Shannon, congratulations!!! Michael and I couldn’t be happier for you two!! Your engagement session was a blast! Even in the midst of dodging tourists and having security guards blow whistles at us… you looked amazing. True pros! I can’t wait to document your love on the big day!! Come on JULY!!!

Really? How cute are they??

Love it!
