{engaged} zack & selina

they made it official under a tree in the woods near her grandparent's house when zack nervously asked selina if she would be his girlfriend. it was during their second year of university and their friendship had blossomed into something that had eternity written on it. nearly two years later, zack took selina back to that tree and nervously asked her to be his wife. though she was tempted to say "no" just to get a reaction out of him, selina joyfully "yes!!" and i imagine zack breathed a great sigh of relief!

i love the thought and detail they put into their engagement session. it is peppered with elements that are personal and meaningful: the vintage suitcase [a family hierloom] that selina gave zack, the quilt selina's aunt made for her, a bottle of their favorite wine that they discovered last summer in europe, and their all time favourite game to play with one another: scrabble. but what i loved most is how they laughed together, a part of their relationship that selina, herself, loves. she wrote to me saying that she "loves that zack is always making her laugh. no matter how tough her day is, he always succeeds in coaxing a smile or two out of her. " this is so apparent to anyone who spends any amount of time with them!!

it is such a pleasure to know these two, and to see how their affection and respect for one another has blossomed over the past two years. zack and selina will be graduating university this coming april and will married in august. i am so looking forward to see what God has planned for them as they enter this new stage in life and become husband and wife.

love & sunshine,
