Linnea & Vincent Engagement Session | Downtown Marietta | Atlanta Wedding Photographers

October 16, 2012 | Engagement Sessions, showcase | 4 Comments

Hey guys! Thanks for swinging by. The wedding season is winding down but i have a lot of engagement sessions lined up. Its definitely a good idea for couples to get their pictures taken early since it gets hectic later. I had a really nice fun time with Linnea and Vincent and i can’t wait for their big day next year. Check out how it all started and the proposal story below. Enjoy!

How it all started:
Vince and I met at the University of Georgia. I was in graduate school and he was completing his Senior year and final collegiate football season as a Bulldog. Although I never tutored Vince, I actually tutored and mentored student athletes at Georgia and ended up being pretty cool with a few of his fraternity (line) brothers/teammates. We were originally introduced by them at a party my friends and I attended in Athens. A semester or two had passed and we never crossed paths again. I found myself at “The Rankin” late-night preparing for the new semester and working on my own school work. I didn’t even notice Vince walk in (hard to believe considering his is a small 6’7″) but he came over,shook my hand said hello re-introduced himself, and asked me how my summer was and school etc. as if we were old friends. We had a brief conversation and who would have known that simple “Hello” turned into the two of us finding our “forever”.

Proposal Story:
Tucked back in the woods at my grandfather’s house is a quaint and quiet creek. My cousins and I used to go on “adventures” through the woods to this creek all the time. As we have become older no longer is it an adventure spot but often time a place to escape in our thoughts. I told Vince about the creek and told him that I would show him one day. Fast forward a few years as my family is preparing for Christmas 2011 at my granddad’s house, matching pajamas and all, I finally got the chance to show him the creek. It was a typical sunny December day in Georgia, perfect to go exploring while we were waiting on the rest of my family to arrive. We head towards the woods….if you guys could have been there you would have laughed watching me of all people lead this excursion and Vince following behind getting beat down by all the tree limbs and prickly bushes in his path. I look up and suddenly everything looks the same, I swear I can hear the water but….I know it didn’t take 20minutes to get to this creek and after awhile we both made the executive decision to just turn back around…Thank God Vince was once a boy scout! We finally reached the clearing, both of us have worked up a little sweat on this adventure and we paused. Vince had to do a bug check and make sure none were in my hair. He then looked me in my eyes, held my hands, and started telling me how much I meant to him (HA I’ll spare you all the sappy details)! He then said he didn’t want to begin the new year without knowing I was going to be by his side and then…..Bling! Bling! He asked me to marry him, YAY!
