Ryan mentioned to Natalie time and time again that when he proposed, he would work really hard to surprise her! According to Natalie, it was 100% accomplished. She was SO surprised!
One thing Natalie + Ryan love to do is travel. So, on their recent vacation to Florida, Ryan invited Natalie’s family for a nice, quiet getaway. When they arrived in Destin the Friday before Labor Day they spent time together until Natalie’s family arrived on Monday.
And on the Monday, they spent time together soaking up the sun, realxing and walking on the beach. On their walk, Ryan started a conversation with Natalie explaining how much he loves her…until he transitioned into HIS PROPOSAL!!!! <3
Natalie’s family was there to witness,clapping and cheering. And now says her favorite part of being engaged is that it gives her an extra excuse to be “as ridiculously in love while shouting from the roof tops, as she wants to!”
The engagements were QUITE the process but in the end they turned out beautifully!!! Our first attempt at shooting was a super rainy, high traffic day in New Orleans…and AGAIN when we rescheduled, the rain filled the skies! 🙁 But on the second attempt, we decided to wait until the skies cleared into this lovely, overcast afternoon.
Natalie and Ryan are so fun and so cool. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them, and although I won’t be there for their destination wedding…I am sending all my love and well wishes their way. <3 <3 <3
