Kariss and Jeff are engaged! We shot their engagement photos last month at Shaw Nature Reserve. Lo & behold, they told me as we arrived that this was where he proposed, too. Perfect! After a rain out, Shaw’s being closed, I think Kariss began to wonder if we ever were going to take her engagement...
Wonderful engagement story! Beautiful couple, location and photos. We hope you have a great and blessed life together.
Love, Hilaire and JohnOctober 2, 2010 – 1:00 pm
