loren + kyle // Akron Falls Park

Filed in engagements shot by on at

Loren and Kyle are getting married THIS WEEKEND, so I thought this would be the perfect time to celebrate by sharing their engagement session!! I met Kyle first because he hired me to photograph his proposal to Loren, which happened ON THE STAGE at Shea’s Performing Arts Center. It’s a great story, but I like it way better the way Kyle tells it, so here it is in his words:

“I wanted to plan something special that would be a memorable way to end Loren’s winter break, before she went back to complete her Master’s degree in biological sciences and clinical research projects.

We really enjoy going to museums, art exhibits, and anything with a historically relevant past when we have time off; I knew I had to plan the proposal around those activities so she wouldn’t be suspicious. After I heard Shea’s Theater offers historical tours, I figured this would be the perfect setting for the proposal. It’s an impressive theater, and we hadn’t been to the theater district in downtown Buffalo after all the recent renovations.

I coordinated with Jenn and the employees at Shea’s to keep everything a secret from Loren. Jenn and the Shea’s tour guide acted as if nothing was unusual, and did an excellent job leading up to the part of the historical tour where we were allowed to walk across the stage. Once we were on stage, I asked Loren to marry me and we were able to have the perfect proposal photo to capture the moment forever.”

It was so sweet and so perfect!!  I got to meet Loren after she realized that I was in on the secret, and she is just as sweet as she is beautiful. It was such a wonderful thing to be a part of!  We met up a few months later to shoot their engagement session, at the barn where Loren’s horses are boarded and then at Akron Falls Park, and these are my favorites from that day. :)

Congrats, L + K!!! Can’t wait to celebrate with you guys this weekend!
