Doreen and Noah Engagement

Doreen and Noah are the sweetest couple you’ll ever come across. They care for each other and complete each other in ways only true love can. They laugh with each other so much and Noah definitely knows how to make Doreen laugh!

They met in college during orientation and quickly became friends, after that the rest is history and now they are getting married!! I’m so excited for their big day!

Tara & Ty

My sweet college friends are going to get married! I was holding onto this secret for many months, what honestly felt like forever. Tara is someone I tell everything to and to not be able to tell her this huge secret was very hard but so rewarding! The day started out by me mentioning I wanted to take group photos of our girl gang at Crystal Bridges in Bentonville Arkansas, and to my surprise she didn’t suspect a thing.

We all drove to the location to where Ty was already waiting inside the art museum and the girls and I found the spot Ty had wanted and we started taking group photos. I think the reason Tara didn’t suspect anything is because I was so set on taking pictures of everyone’s hands- which was really a ploy to get her to do her nails- and if you know me you know I love to take pictures of peoples hands, so she didn’t ask any questions. Everyone was posing having a great time then I asked if I could have one picture of just Tara. This was the opportunity for Ty to come up from the back and propose, and once everyone cleared out he dropped to one knee. Tara was so surprised! She giggled and laughed as the girls and I just took in the moment and I was snapping away on my camera. She said yes after she calmed down and stopped giggling so much, which was ADORABLE.

After she said yes we went and took engagement photos around and in the museum, and they turned out so cute! Im forever thankful for Ty for trusting me to capture this special moment and for Tara being so gung-ho about taking group photos which she had no idea would be her proposal. I love capturing special moments like this, and taking pictures that will last a lifetime.
