From the bride, Nicole: “Steve and I met online, I was very hesitant in trying out the online dating world but with the help of two friends I put myself out there. I was lucky enough that Steve is the one and only person I had to talk to to find the one!
Steve proposed on a weekend trip. With Covid and quarantine hitting in March 2020, Steve’s plans were a little thrown off. He waited until July to plan a weekend getaway with another couple friends of ours. We were supposed to be meeting them down at Heisler Park because our room wasn’t quite ready yet. As we’re walking to meet our friends, Steve stopped for us to take a selfie and me being the impatient person that I am was getting irritated and just wanted our friends to take an actual, good picture when we met up with them. I started to walk away and when Steve pulled me back and I turned back towards him, he was down on one knee. I couldn’t believe that he was proposing, I was completely surprised! We are lucky enough that he had a friend there taking photos so we have some pictures and a video of the whole thing.”
Steve and Nicole, it has been such a privilege getting to know you two! It was so fun photographing your Engagement Session and your wedding day. You are both delightful to be around and have so much love you share. I wish you all the best in this new journey together!
