Today’s engagement session is actually for a couple who is getting married in just a few short months!

Like SO many of my other couples, Nate & Katy met online and there was an instant connection! They’ve been dating for the last 2.5 years and are loving their life together in Wauwatosa with their sweet 4-month old golden-doodle puppy. When I asked Nate about their proposal story, he told me that Katy’s straight-forward Grandma was actually to thank for getting the ball rolling! At a family get together, she basically asked Nate “When is this happening?!” and from there, Nate knew it was time to find the perfect ring (and trust me, it’s pretty dang perfect)!

Although they’ve only been engaged for a few short weeks, Nate & Katy knew they didn’t want to have a long engagement — Nate served in the Army and now is actively part of the National Guard so with the ever-looming possibility of deployment, they knew they didn’t want to wait! Planning a wedding in less than 4 months could be a crazy stressful idea but these two have handled everything beautifully & are focused on the biggest part of the wedding day — getting married. I have no doubt it will be a beautiful wedding day but I just love it when the focus is on the marriage of two people!!! Katy & Nate, cheers to this exciting new chapter together!!!

Love this one!!!

Halfway through our session, we had the cutest photobombing deer!
