Sunset Stumpy Lake Session

The days are getting shorter, and the sun is setting earlier. It can be challenging, but the light always makes for some beautiful pictures! Especially when we can do a sunset Stumpy Lake session with a gorgeous couple!

Brooke and Alex have a love story that started in High School, and then blossomed into a lifelong romance.

As we were trekking around the woods together, I got to learn a little about them and capture a piece of their love story.

We started out trying to include the couples sweet pup Frankie in some of the photos… but he had different ideas.

That little guy was so adorable, but he was NOT interested in posing for the camera.

After a snapping a few pictures, we handed Frankie off to his dog-grandma, and then settled into the session.

Get to know these two lovebirds on today’s blog!

How you two meet?

We met in high school! That’s why we incorporated a sign into the photoshoot that says “Est. 2012”.

What did you do on your first date?

I believe the first time we hung out was at a school basketball game.

What are some of your favorite things to do together?

We like to go to the movies, go out to eat, hang with our pup Frankie & go to our family’s lake house.

When did you know he was the one?

I knew he was the one when he saw me at my worst and stuck by me and my family through a really tough year.

Tell Us Your Proposal Story?

Alex proposed to me on the beach behind our first condo with all of our friends there. It was supposed to be a really nasty day but the weather turned out to be absolutely beautiful.

If you had to pick a word for your relationship, what would it be?

I’d say that our word is best friends.

What are three dreams/goals for your marriage?

dreams and goals for our marriage is to be healthy, happy, and to make/ raise lots of wonderful mini me’s.

What are you looking forward to most on the wedding day?

I am just glad all of our friends and family that have been on this journey with us since high school will be together in one room dancing the night away.
