Who doesn’t love an Annesdale Mansion engagement session?
Meet Laura and Aaron, two of our favorite people. We met them for the first time at their engagement session at Annedale Mansion, where these two will be getting married at in June. They are both so kind, so loving, and it’s clearly evident how smitten they are with each other. Laura and Aaron made our job easy, and part of that is because you can tell they genuinely have fun just being together. We love and admire that about them.
These engagement photos were taken on such a gorgeous day in the Fall of last year. There is never a bad time to take photos at Annesdale, but as you know, Fall has a special place in our hearts.
Per usual (because we just can’t help ourselves) we asked Laura how the proposal happened and she gave us ALL the details.
“On a Sunday in June we started off the day by going to church. We went to lunch and then went back to my house. I cleaned most of the afternoon. Aaron said he wanted to take Nova to the new dog park on the island and then go eat at Tug’s. They allow dogs on the porch so it was perfect! It was coming up on our 2 year anniversary and he wanted to just spend time together having fun with Nova and I. We headed downtown with Nova in the car, got to the dog park and she was not interested in playing at all. She just wanted to sniff all the new smells and we couldn’t even get her to chase after a ball- which is very odd because she loves to fetch! After about 10 minutes at the dog park, Aaron started acting really odd and said, “Lets go walk by the river with Nova”….He wanted to go down close to the river and I said no because I was scared of snakes and that Nova would try to jump in the water which would be my worst fear!! Aaron pulled my arm and we ended up going down there. He stopped me once we had walked a little bit and said some really sweet words, he got down on one knee, told me to look at Nova’s collar and it said “Say yes mom!” he then popped the question! I was so caught off guard yet so happy at the same time. I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN (which is odd b/c I usually figure things out). His roommate Reed was up on the top of the hill taking pictures of it all! Nova was just interested in the water and wanted to jump in! lol….I have a picture to show how she was pulling on the leash to get into that water. Reed took some pictures of just us, then Aaron blind folded me and told me we weren’t going to TUGS. I was like what??? I’m so confused. We showed up to a house, he walked me to the door, took off the blind fold and I saw all of our family and friends inside!!!! We all ate dinner together and popped champagne! It’s one of my most favorite nights.”
We are such suckers for proposal stories, especially when they involve fur babies. We absolutely cannot wait to celebrate with Laura + Aaron in June at Annesdale Mansion. The world needs more people like these precious souls!
You guys enjoy!
