With so many awesome places to do an engagement shoot, it can be hard to pick. But Sarah and Nick knew that they wanted a Norfolk Pagoda garden engagement shoot because it has a strong Japanese influence. Plus, this particular location holds special meaning for me personally because that is where Eric and I got engaged (aawww!) 🙂

Norfolk Pagoda Garden Engagement Shoot

Sarah and Nick’s love story started back in 2012. She was in college and he was enlisted in the Air Force, and they were both looking for that special someone to go on life’s journey with. Enter CatholicMatch.com, and by 2013, they were officially a couple.

Sarah said that she knew Nick was the one for her right away, but with all the major life events happening (graduating school for Sarah, deployments for Nick), he finally worked up the courage to pop the question on March 2 of 2014 and Sarah joyfully accepted with laughter and a few happy tears!

These two lovebirds finally tied the knot in a beautiful (and totally them) wedding ceremony on May 2 of this year – exactly one year after they got engaged! I am so honored to be able to document these big milestones for Nick and Sarah, and can’t wait to see all that the future has in store for them!
