Love has a funny way of finding us in unexpected places, and for Emily and Brandon, it all started on Bumble. From their first virtual conversation, they realized they had something special. With Emily's team player mentality and Brandon's hardworking spirit, they quickly discovered a deep connection that would eventually lead them down the path to their marriage and an exciting future together.
The Proposal:
Brandon, always thoughtful and considerate, wanted the proposal to be memorable and perfect for Emily. Together, they had chosen the ring, so while it wasn't a complete surprise, the moment was still special. Before the proposal, they enjoyed a lovely dinner together. At Rice Park, one of their favorite spots in the cities, Brandon proposed to Emily. He had a couple of buddies there with cameras to capture the moment. Brandon LOVES photos, so it was really important to him to capture such a big moment. As Brandon slid the ring onto Emily's finger, Emily remembers she was worried about her food container lid slipping. Laughter filled the air as they realized that even in the most precious moments, life can surprise us in unexpected ways.
The Engagement Session:
To capture the essence of their love story, Emily and Brandon decided to have their engagement photos taken at Rice Park in Saint Paul, same park they got engaged! The park provided a picturesque backdrop for their love to shine.
On the day of the photoshoot, the Minnesota spring weather blessed them with warmth. The evening was filled with golden sunlight and a gentle breeze, setting the perfect ambiance for their pictures. Their smiles radiated pure happiness as they strolled hand in hand through the park, capturing moments that perfectly encapsulated their love and excitement for the future. And let me be a little artsy too!
Despite encountering a small hiccup with a lime scooter, Emily and Brandon embraced the unexpected and made the most of it. Their ability to adapt and find joy in any situation highlighted the strength of their connection and their shared sense of adventure.
With their engagement session serving as a beautiful prelude to their upcoming wedding, Emily and Brandon can't contain their excitement. The fall wedding promises to be a celebration of love, surrounded by family and friends who have supported them throughout their journey. And they both are greatly looking forward to honeymooning in Japan!
As they continue to plan their future together, Emily and Brandon eagerly anticipate the day they will say "I do" and embark on their next grand adventure as a married couple.
Emily and Brandon's love story is a testament to the power of connection and the beauty of embracing life's surprises. From their first meeting on Bumble to their engagement session at Rice Park, their journey has been filled with laughter, love, and shared experiences. I cannot wait for the wedding this fall! Until then, please enjoy their engagement session at Rice Park and Raspberry Island in Saint Paul.
