Katie & Kyle Engagement Session | Fellows Riverside Garden | Silver Bridge | Lanterman's Mill | Mill Creek Park | Youngstown, OH Photographers

Katie & Kyle are very cute together. They told us they were nervous that they were going to look awkward in their photos . . . not possible! (And we wouldn’t let that happen). 🙂 When we posted a sneak peek of the engagement session on our Facebook page, someone even said that she thought it was an ad when she first saw it on her newsfeed because they look like a magazine couple. . . agreed! Not only are they super cute together- they’re really well suited to one another and have the same values and priorities in life. That sounds like an amazing marriage in the making to us! And to think that these two had known each other most of their lives. Katie always had a crush on Kyle, but he was an “older man” back when they were kids growing up- he’s three years older than she is. As they grew up, they went on a mission trip together and to church together and got closer as the years went by. Once the childhood stage faded, the three-year difference wasn’t a factor, and these two ended up together.
The outfits are great & Katie nailed the accessories. They match perfectly with Kyle’s shirt, which tied everything together so well.Engagement sessions are fun! 😀How pretty would this one be as a huge canvas in their home once they get married?! 🙂 Beautiful!The light! Ahhhh! Loooooove!Since this is their engagement session blog, I just have to share their proposal story with you! It is so sweet! Katie is very difficult to surprise. Kyle will adamantly tell you this fact, and Katie will admit it. Kyle worked hard to make a plan to knock Katie off her feet in surprise. He went to the jewelry store and ordered the engagement ring that he knew Katie loved without her knowing about it and then clued in the jeweler that he’d be bringing Katie to the store to “order and pick out” the ring. Katie & Kyle went to the jewelry store and Kyle & the jeweler went through the whole charade of choosing a ring that Katie loved and “ordering” it. (Good thing she didn’t change her mind on which ring she wanted, huh?) 🙂 The jeweler then told them that it’d take four weeks for the ring to arrive in the store. The big surprise was that Kyle already HAD the ring in his possession and had set up candles and flower petals at his apartment. When he and Katie arrived to the apartment, she had no idea what was going on and Kyle got down on one knee, presented THE ring that Katie thought was going to take four weeks to arrive because she’d just “picked it out,” and he proposed to her right then. She was surprised and so happy and said, “Yes!”Sometimes Josh & I are funny. 😉 We LOVE that this is our job! Having fun with amazing couples, making them laugh, and making pretty photos for them to cherish. . . pinch us! Is this real life?!What you don’t know by looking at these photos is that there was a couple posing for maternity photos below the bridge we were standing on. The parents-to-be were laying IN the creek water and the girl screamed, “I smell like a catfish!” Ummmm…okay. Mill Creek Park is often an interesting place full of unique characters.Â Katie & Kyle make the park look good. 🙂Here’s one gorgeous bride comin’ at ya in May!
