Carly and Justin met in December of 2012. They felt an instant connection and started dating soon after. Carly said she knew Justin was the one after their first date! “There was just something about him,” she fondly recalls. “We clicked immediately! One of my favorite memories was our second date, I made Justin dinner and he jumped right in to help me cook like it was something we had always done. We still love to cook together and it’s such a perfect example of his laid back and thoughtful personality.” Nowadays, you can find them hiking with their dogs, snowshoeing (they love Winter and they are even planning a wonderful winter wedding!), kayaking, and trying different restaurants!
Justin proposed this past December and Carly loves to share the story. “I am one of those few crazy people who loves Wisconsin winters and snow. Ever since I was little my family would always go on a walk together during the first snow. I’ve continued that tradition for the past three years with Justin. It is one of my favorite days of the year and I always look forward to it. This year Justin suggested we walk down to Wequiock Falls. Once we were there Justin dropped to one knee on the bridge and proposed! Lots of frozen tears and 14 inches of snow later, we were engaged!”
To celebrate their love and their upcoming wedding, we explored Sun Point and the cute little Locktender’s House along the De Pere Riverwalk for their sunset Engagement Session! We enjoyed looking at all the “locks of love” on the bridge and watching all the kids walk around with their faces glued to their phones as they played Pokémon Go. My favorite part of the entire session though just had to be when Carly and Justin’s adorable dogs, Lola and Lucy, made a guest appearance! They are seriously SO cute and I could have spent the entire time snuggling with them!
I’m so happy for this amazing couple and I cannot believe how sweet and wonderful they are to each other and to their loved ones. They even surprised me before our session with an adorable coffee mug, yummy coffee, and cat treats for Alexander and Clementine! I really DO know the best couples!!
