I always love when I get to shoot an engaged couple at a new location. Kendra & Michael’s engagement session was at Summit Lake in Olympia, Washington at Michael’s parents lake house. When I asked Kendra & Michael about their engagement at our first meeting, I was amazing to hear that they were only officially dating for 3 months before they got engaged sometimes when you know you know! Kendra’s sister & brother-in-law worked on setting Kendra & Michael up. They hung out all together also playing pranks on each other and realized how well they got along & becoming quite good friends before they officially starting to dating.
Kendra & Michael got engaged this past December, Michael invited Kendra over to decorate his Christmas tree. Michael pulled the engagement ring out of his Christmas decorations and ask Kendra to marry him. At first she thought he was joking since she wasn’t expecting him to ask her to marry him. Of course after she realized he was serious she said yes!
I’m very excited for Kendra & Michael’s August wedding at Sherman Valley Ranch outside Olympia, Washington.
