Downtown Memphis in the Fall, could you ask for a dreamier time of year? Add Katie + Alex and we’re talking PURE MAGIC.
Would you believe me if I told you Katie and Alex have International Paper to thank for their relationship?! You heard me correctly, it’s true. These babes both started working at IP right out of college and were work friends before they ever started dating. Alex totally deserves a crown for being persistent. He asked Katie out to dinner THREE times before she finally agreed to go (proof he had his eye on the prize all along.) Katie didn’t want to ruin her friendship/ work relationship with Alex, but I know she is SO thankful she finally agreed, because she shared these thoughts with me.
Katie: Although I sometimes hate it took me so long to realize what was right in front of me, I am in a weird way thankful for that time. All those weeks I spent with Alex before our official first date gave us the opportunity to really strengthen our friendship before diving into a relationship.
When we met Katie and Alex, we loved them immediately. They are so personable, so kind, and have the most fun energy about them. We also got to meet Clem, Katie and Alex’s rescue pup. He has the most adorable face, and was SUCH trooper for photos. At one point, we posed Katie and Alex and I told Alex to say a funny word, he went to try and say said word and Katie bursted into hysterical laughter. We love that Katie and Alex can laugh at each other and with each other.
Katie and Alex are getting married THIS coming weekend at Cedar Hall and we are SO DANG pumped to celebrate with them. Y’all enjoy!
