Jordan & Shawn are engaged and I could not be more excited for them!! I have been friends with this awesome couple for a few years now and I am absolutely honored and overjoyed to showcase their love.
These two have been together since 2002, meeting while they were still in high school. Over the years their love has blossomed and now they are inseparable. They love going on walks with their adorable pup, Charlee, making food together or getting coffee on lazy Saturdays when they both are not working. And even though Shawn proposed last year, Jordan knew he was the one all the way back in 2002, saying, “I just knew we were going to grow old together.”
As the ultimate prankster, Shawn proposed on April Fool’s Day in a way Jordan least expected. Shawn recalls that beautiful day, “After a hard day of work for both of us, I made dinner and surprised her by getting down on one knee, right after I served her food and I told her to stick out her hand. I pulled out a pair of diamond earrings and her face turned red. She almost started crying and said, ‘I thought it was going to be a ring.’ Then I pulled out the real ring and proposed!”
We started our Engagement Session with mimosas in hand as the lovely Alissa Kristine did Jordan’s hair & make-up at my place. Shawn loves trains so we thought the National Railroad Museum would be the perfect place for their Session. The old train cars and awesome interiors served as the perfect backdrop for the shoot. Jordan looked absolutely gorgeous in all her outfits and I was obsessed with the amazing shoes she was wearing (she has over 200 pairs and I’m pretty sure I want them all!) Charlee joined us for a few photos, looking as cute as ever! We shot for over two hours but it only felt like a couple minutes, we were having so much fun!
I love these two and I’m so excited for their Washington Island wedding in August!
Thanks to the National Railroad Museum for letting us roam around and make photographs!
Thanks to Alissa Kristine for providing all the professional hair & make-up!
