ENGAGEMENT

Tim and Stephanie’s “Will You”

Their first introduction was not uncommon… Tim met Stephanie through mutual friends in college. In between classes, part time jobs, and church, these two found themselves always around the same group of people. Through the years, they became fast friends, spending many a late night goofing off and having fun. While they never had romantic thoughts about the other, they enjoyed each others’ company….  and without consciously realizing it, their friendship grew to be one that if given the choice, they’d choose to spend all their time together. A friend brought this to their attention, and they both realized that they actually really loved each other.

Hence, they came to be “Tim and Steph” and as they continued through their college years, they weathered transfers, graduations, and new jobs far far away. Their friendship is their anchor, and the romance and love that has sprung from that foundation is a sweet, fun, and a forever kind of love. These two are engaged to be married later this summer and I am SO excited to document their story. We had a lot of fun traipsing around Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park… here are my favorites….
