Emily and Ryan met me out in Orlando at a beautiful botanical garden for their Summer vibes engagement. The two not only had each other laughing, but also myself laughing through all of their silliness. I cannot get over how Emily’s smile can light up a room, and most definitely Ryan’s heart.
Just a little over a year ago, Emily and Ryan first crossed paths when they met through a mutual friend. Hitting it off, Ryan invited her on a date to a little cozy cafe for their first date and an arcade after. While the cozy cafe didn’t pan out with the best pancakes, their conversation was more than amazing. Reflecting back, Emily truly felt it was the best date she had ever been on. Ryan planned out another fun time for their second date by taking her to the aquarium, which was when Emily realized he was the perfect match!
Ryan also knew Emily was the perfect match and fell in love with her, “natural smile, sense of humor, and effortless wit.” Oh, and he also loves that she beats him every time at Jeopardy – haha! Falling in love with his outer qualities right off the bat, like his deep blue eyes, wasn’t hard for Emily, but it is Ryan’s sense of humor and how he always keeps her laughing that she fell head over heals for. As Emily explains, Ryan is “my best friend in the world and biggest supporter, regardless of whats going on.”
The holiday season has become a time that the two both delight in, deepened with love for when Ryan proposed. Christmas Day now brings many memories, which is also Emily’s favorite holiday. Knowing this, Ryan planned out his proposal to include a little handmade Harry Potter music box as his gift to Emily, with the even bigger gift found inside – an engagement ring! As the two wound down in exchanging gifts, Ryan pulled one last one from under the tree. Kneeling down in front of Emily on one knee, he opened the music box and as it started to play a sweet little melody, asked for her hand in marriage. It was absolutely perfect, intimate, and the best Christmas gift Emily could have ever received!
Tying the knot at Spartan Manor in New Port Richey this coming March, our team looks forward to capturing all of the smiles and laughs on their big day!
