After a romantic dinner at a well-known downtown steakhouse, she still had no ring. Not that she was expecting it that night, but maybe - just maybe, she had been hoping... there had been some talk about a ring, after all.

After dinner, he had to make a quick stop at the local library to return some overdue books. This was normal (not the overdue part, I don't think), but the library was a common spot for them. They had been studying at the same library when they were introduced by friends. And they continued to study there together, as friends, for some time more.

And their friendship grew into a perfect love. So it was only perfect that rather than retrieving due books from the car, Thomas appeared with a gorgeous ring and asked Stephanie to be his bride.

And she said yes.
And they popped champagne.
And they will live happily ever after :)

So for their engagement shoot, we thought it would only be fitting to include a library as a part of the shoot. We went out to UW on a brisk day and had a ton of fun. The happy couple knew it wouldn't be complete without their dog Stella, so she came along as well. Needless to say, this little family has stolen my heart.
