“DAVID!!!! It happened, it happened!!”

Getting this Instagram message, you’d think I had just been proposed to, I was so excited.

Michele and my online relationship started 7 months earlier, when she reached out saying that she loved my photos and knew she wanted me to do her engagement photos…. only she wasn’t engaged yet. Her enthusiasm and humor jumped off the page, and she said she felt like it was coming soon since her boyfriend Ricky all of a sudden suggested she start getting her nails done, and his mother casually asked Michele her ring size as they were shopping for costume jewelry.

So when the proposal happened and I got the excited message the next day, and then we *finally* spoke on the phone, it felt like a conversation between old friends.

Michele, the in-person meeting did not disappoint. Quite the contrary, it was like a walking party that I never wanted to end! And Ricky, you have such a warm, calming, and strong presence and a smile that so easily creeps out to light up the room. The way you look at Michele warms my heart. I’m so happy for you both!

I had a blast at your engagement shoot, and I’m so excited to send along this sneak peek. Enjoy!
