It was December, and it was cold, but we laughed our way through every bit of this day, anyway. And tomorrow we get to laugh our way through another sweet day as you say “I do” for forever. So excited for your wedding, friends!!!!

She’s in dentistry school. He played water polo. They met while attending VirginiaTech— just friends for awhile, but slowly they moved from group hangouts to just them hangouts, and one day discovered they were each others’ best friends, and they were in love, and they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. They’re the kind of steady people who love nothing more than to be in each others’ presence. When asked about their favorite activity as a couple, Braxton replied, “Anything. Cooking, walking, just sitting around… I enjoy doing anything, as long as I’m doing it with her.” They’re getting married in July, and it’s sure to be a perfect wedding. We did their engagement pictures at VTech, as a tribute to the place where they fell in love.

These are just a few frames from a surprise engagement party just a few hours after Devin proposed. I’m absolutely certain that Sam’s face will exude the same level of joy and excitement tomorrow.

It was her birthday. It was the place they went on their first date. It was a beautiful evening that told of Springtime just around the corner. It was sunset on the water. And— completely to her surprise— it was the night that Tim would first say “I love you” to the girl he loved, and ask Rachel to be his wife. It was the night she said “yes,” and it was perfect.

Scott & Kate, can’t wait for your wedding in just two weeks!!!
