Kirsten and Chris’ engagement session was one of our all time favorites. The sun just poured in like no other day, and Kirsten and Chris were literally glowing the entire day.
When we met this sweet couple at our house for the first time, it only took seconds for all of us to click instantly. Kirsten and Chris told us they initially met at church and all about their proposal.
Kirsten’s recollection of when Chris proposed is my favorite:
“Well first of all we had been talking about getting engaged for a while already. So of course, I had a few ideas or rules about how it should or shouldn’t go. This year on my birthday, February 10, we went to brunch with my family, did some shopping, went to the park, had plans for dinner and a movie after. We went to dinner at Stoney River and both had ordered our food then I decided I wanted to add something so Chris said “we’ll see if he comes back and if not I’ll get up and tell him.” He never came back so Chris went up to add my other side and little did I know told the waiter something else as well. After dinner we ordered dessert and when it came out the plate had written on it in chocolate sauce “Will you marry me?” Chris got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was in such shock that I only was able to eat like 2 bites of the chocolate cake (and I love me some cake.) We had already pre bought the movie tickets so on the way there we called our close family and friends to share the news. And to top it off we forgot all of our leftovers at the restaurant. Oh and Chris did everything I said not to for the proposal but it was perfect!!”
It’s funny, you can totally visualize exactly how you want to be proposed to, but when it comes down to it, you realize it really is special regardless of how it happens.
We’re fortunate that both Kirsten and Chris were recently in another wedding we just photographed. We’ve loved getting to know them throughout their engagement, and consider them both friends. Kirsten and Chris are getting married THIS MONTH at Mallard’s Croft, and we cannot wait to be a part of it. Recently, Chris was offered a new job in Atlanta, Georgia, so although these babes have to move, they are truly stuck with us, haha!
So excited for your wedding, guys!
