Kaitlen and Kyle are getting married next week, and I am so excited to share their Overton Park engagement session with you all today!
Kaitlen and I clicked instantly after our first phone call. I knew I loved her when she said “I just want you to know I am going to be a boujee bride.” I am pretty sure I have met my match with Kaitlen and I am ok with that. Life is too short to be anything but boujee, right? I have loved getting to know Kaitlen and becoming friends with her throughout her engagement, and we’re just ecstatic for their wedding next weekend.
This engagement session was so much fun. It was actually the first time we had met Kaitlen and Kyle in person and naturally we all hit it off instantly. Kyle reminds me so much of John. He is so calm, funny, and honestly just down for whatever. Not all grooms are on board for photos, but Kyle was so cooperative and complied and even seemed to have fun. We loved that about him!
I always love hearing how the proposal went down, and Kaitlen and Kyle’s proposal story is SO fun to read. Here’s how Kaitlen told it:
“Kyle’s mom called me a few weeks before his birthday and told me she wanted to throw a surprise party for him. She told me all of his siblings would be home and to invite some of his close friends. I was so excited and reached out to a few of his best friends to clue them in on the plan (even though they already knew the plan and I had no idea)!
So, his birthday finally comes along and we all start to gather at his parents’ home. His first friend arrives and Kyle acts so surprised (FAKER!!!) At this point I am just happy I didn’t accidentally ruin the surprise beforehand. After everyone showed up, we all went to the backyard to watch Kyle open his gifts and to eat dinner. I always have my camera and play photographer at events. His sister, Lana, asked if she could take pictures on my camera. Me being hard headed, I declined her offer and continued taking pictures of Kyle opening his presents. Then Lana asked (well rather told) me again if she could use my camera. I thought it was odd but laughed it off and she nudged me to go sit in the open chair next to Kyle.
Finally, he is down to his last gift to open and he says, “Oh babe I have a feeling you’re going to want to take a picture of this one!!” To which I responded, “Um why??” I thought maybe it was a new truck and his mom had wrapped the key or something. But NOPE, he got down on one knee after unwrapping a ring box and asked me to be his wife. After he put the most beautiful ring on my finger, I turned around to see two of my best friends that hid inside and watched the whole thing! My parents were also there which was such an important detail to me. I am so thankful he planned such a special surprise and that we were surrounded by all of our favorite people.”
I saw photos of this and it truly was such a sweet moment. Now Kyle will forever share his birthday with their proposal anniversary! We cannot wait for their wedding next week, you guys enjoy!
