The air was cold and the that special feeling that only Christmas can bring lingered in the air. The lights of the tree seemed to sparkle differently today, as if to foreshadow the magic that was to come. Rosa and Justin were both wearing red flannel Christmas pajamas when he gave her a gift from their two cats…and inside was the most beautiful engagement ring she’d ever seen! They took in this incredible time and told friends and family the amazing news. It was truly the most incredible Christmas they’d ever had, and the best is still yet to come!
Their first year as fiancé’s flew by, and the Fall quickly approached, meaning it was time to shoot their engagement photos! We chased the sunset through the green trees and tall grass, playing music and laughing the whole time. These two are so sweet together, and it’s easy to tell that while they love each other more than anything, they are also best friends. They truly make each other smile while simultaneously giving each other butterflies, and that is so incredibly special. I know their marriage is going to be so beautiful, and I can’t believe I get to be there next year for the big day. Until then, I know they’ll be laughing, loving on their fur babies, and enjoying their second Christmas as fiancé’s, as the next time around they will be sitting by the sparkling tree as husband and wife!
