Shelby & Bill Engagement Photos | East Liverpool Engagement Session

Shelby & Bill are up next on the good old blog with their East Liverpool engagement session! We wish we could hang out with these two all the time because they’re hilarious & so much fun together! They’re one of those couples you just really want to be friends with because they’re full of jokes, always comfortable around each other,, & don’t take life too seriously. Yet we know from hearing their stories of how they met & got engaged that they can also be romantic & sweet. Isn’t that the perfect combination? Fun, joyful, and sweet! We love that! We also really can’t help but share how they met because it’s such a fun story! We’ll get to that in this post, but first enjoy a few fun photos in their Steelers gear! As Cleveland Browns fans, we always wonder what it’d be like to root for a football team that wins sometimes. LOL!

We love the sunshine!east liverpool photographerSo these two will say with a straight face, “We met in prison.” And they’re not even lying. . . east liverpool photographerNeither of them was locked up, however. Shelby was doing clinicals & Bill was there in an official role, too. The thing is, Shelby had been getting hit on all day & Bill definitely didn’t want to be “another creepy old guy” to use his words. To Bill’s amazement, Shelby didn’t see him as a creepy old guy, and she did agree to go on a date. The rest, as they say, is history. east liverpool photographereast liverpool photographereast liverpool photographereast liverpool photographereast liverpool photographereast liverpool photographereast liverpool photographereast liverpool photographereast liverpool photographerThey are so in love & it’s really fun to be around them because they’re so happy!east liverpool photographerWe found lots of great spots around Thompson Park in East Liverpool. east liverpool photographerAnd we even hiked to THE spot in the park where Bill proposed to Shelby. When he proposed, she could not believe it. And one of Bill’s friends was nearby to capture it all in photos; the look of shock on Shelby’s face in those photos is absolutely priceless.east liverpool photographerOf course, it was fun to recreate the moment even though Shelby said she can’t fake that surprised facial expression because that was pure & utter shock.east liverpool photographerThese two are adventurous & climbed all the way up there for some cool photos.
