Candlelight, Duncan Gardens, and Love. The perfect combination.

Oh my, there were so many romatic opportunities this holiday season for proposals, although I've been happily married for almost 5 years I still find myself coming up with sweet proposal ideas! I'm so excited for everyone who got engaged and those of you who have weddings in 2012! What an exciting year for you all! To keep our fuzzy feelings going this year I'd thought I'd share an amazing, romantic proposal that happened this New Years Eve!

With a little help from his family, Michael was able to take his sweet girlfriend Sara on a romantic walk and end up here, at Duncan gardens, surrounded by candles. What a treat to see photos from the actual engagement... goosebumps anyone!?!

Some real, some LED, these candles set quite the scene for one of the most romatic proposals I've seen!

EEEE! I can't look at this photo without smiling! Their love is contageous even through photos! 

A photo from one of the happiest moments of their lives, and we get to see it! Ahhh... Amore' 

A suprise engagment party after the proposal included sparklers galore. What an amazing and memorable New Years Eve they shared! 

In true 'Knight-in-shining-armor' fashion, Michael carved their initals in this tree. I'm thinking this tree will be one they visit for many years to come! 

Michael Wittwer and Sara Johnson are one of the happiest couples I've ever met and I am so excited for both of them! Thank you both for letting us share your incredibly romantic story! 

Stay-tuned for a feature on Michael and Sara's Engagment shoot by his very beautiful, very talented sister Amy Franklin! 

Sighs of Love, 

E-mail me your engagement, or wedding story! I'd love to hear from you! 

 

 

Manito Park Engagment Session with Mary Banducci Photography

I don't think there is anything more romantic than strolling hand-in-hand with the love of your life through one of Spokane's gorgeous Parks, especially if that stroll is captured by Mary Banducci Photography. 

Check out Kyle & Sarah's amazing engagment session at Manito Park by Mary Banducci. This one has me smiling! 

This might just be one of the sweetest pictues ever. I love that he's really kissing her, and not just posing. So sweet! 

What a perfect image to put in black and white. Timeless. 

Great ring shot! 

What gorgeous 'props' these flowers are, Manito has so much to offer! 

So fun! Please notice they DID NOT pick the flowers. 

Oh Northwest greenery, how I love thee...

Congrats to Kyle and Sarah!

Breathtaking Engagement Session by 2ee's Photography!

Erica & her father Erik of 2ee's photography have been capturing images for years, and recently began their business together. Between the two of them, they are able to tell amazing love stories with the images they capture.

My jaw dropped when I saw this engagment session of Nikki and Nick, a couple who have known each other since middle school, ahhh, I love a great love story... 

Warning: what you are about to see is completely breathtaking, so if you're at work, try to not make those little squeals that we women tend to make. 

Oh these glorious colors! 
 

Nikki did a great job of styling herself for the location! What a beautiful bride she will be!

I love the wheat! 

I love her look, you can see the safety she feels in Nick's arms. Oh, Swoon!

Erica's Expressions- turning your floral dream into a reality!

There's nothing more romantic than flowers, a rose from a secret admirer turns into a bouquet from your beau, before you know it you're walking down the isle with your wedding bouquet. A symbol of new life, love, and just down right pretty!  Flowers are the best accessory for any event; on tables, on grooms, held by the most beautiful of brides. I can't imagine more beautiful 'accessories' than the bouquets and table scapes that Erica from Erica's Expression creates!

Erica's Expressions has been seen all over lately, even nationally recognized on Green Wedding shoes! We wanted to feature the florist that helped create all these wonderful styled photo shoots, as well as lovely bridal bouquets you've been seeing! 

Feast your eyes on some of what Erica has to offer! 

This is from the 'French Farmer's Market' Engagement shoot done with Romancing the Stone styling. The flowers make this shoot completely breathtaking! 

Simply Stunning.

I love the way Erica thinks outside the box, if you see me strolling through target with flowers coming out of my boots, its because I think this is BEAUTIFUL! ;) 

Recognize this bouquet? This is from the Styled Cupcake Engagement Session we featured last week! Erica did an amazing job with the flowers! 

Erica can create almost anything you can imagine when it comes to your wedding bouquet.  Visit her website to see more pictures of her work, and schedule your consultation! 

Enjoy looking at these gorgeous flowers, it's starting to get bitterly cold in Spokane and while the thick layer of frost on the trees is stunning, visions of warm summer days and fresh flowers get me through! 

All my warm love!
