It was Labor Day this year when Chase decided it was time. After 7 years after growing closer as a couple he was ready to make things offically official.
Lauren is an x-ray tech here in Louisiana. So when Chase mentioned his back issues after that past weekend’s kart races, Lauren offered to take a look at his x-rays. Just as Chase had hoped…things were already going according to his plan. His intentions were to completely surprise Lauren. And he succeeded.
On Monday afternoon, Chase arrived at the hospitable with a friend for his x-rays. Although Lauren did notice he was a little anxious, she attributed the emotions to his “injury” and carried on. As the x-rays began to load onto the computer screen Lauren noticed something odd on his scan. As she looked closer, she realized it was the silhouette of a ring! (Chase had taped the ring to his chest knowing she would only notice when the x-ray appeared.)
When she looked to him, everything made sense. Chase knelt down beside Lauren as he asked her to marry him.
We photographed Lauren + Chase’s engagement session on the BEAUTIFUL grounds of Rip Van Winkle Gardens. We were nervous about the rain that day. With the high humidity and droplets that fell occasionally throughout the shoot, I couldn’t have been more thankful that Sara Buteaux was there to touch up Lauren’s hair in between outfits (more on this soon).
Thank you to Lauren + Chase for being such an awesome couple to work with! I see so much of myself in Lauren’s personality and I’m thrilled to be working with these two. 🙂
Happy Friday!
