And She Said Yes: AJ + Amanda Engaged

AJ called me about a week and a half prior to the big day. Calm as a cucumber, he told me the story! And I was hooked. I'm a sucker for a good love story, always have been and always will be.

We met on that day and it was pouring down rain! Wouldn't you know...but that failed to dampen AJ's spirit. Amanda had no idea this was a staged photo shoot and as she entered the room, I'm pretty sure my heart skipped a beat-along with the other two accomplices--Nina & Marty who were in on the whole shebang.

Without skipping a beat midway through the fake shoot, AJ handed over the lovely book he had made her, pulled out the twisty-tie ring (because he always told her that's all he could afford) and then proposed...and she said yes. Twisty-tie and all...that was right before he dropped to his knees and opened up the real box.

So after the thrill and excitement of the moment, AJ had asked that Marty & Nina escort us around campus where the two had met to take some photos.

So the pictures that follow represnt life captured...at its best!

The twisty-tie ring...








Love this one...there's something about a good looking couple and a perfect black and white mix.








AJ & Amanda--thank you so much for letting me take part in your speical day! It was such an honor to be there with you as you experienced love in its truest form! Best of luck to all the planning that's coming your way! It's truly going to be the best day of your life!
