Happy Wednesday friends! We are back from the European vacation of our dreams and it feels SO good! We have so many things to share with you we are about to burst! There is a lot going on behind the scenes and there are so many photos and stories to share from our trip. We promise to share soon! For now, let’s take a look at Fran and Tristen’s adorable engagement session at Crystal Lake, shall we?!

These two are so cute together! Fran and Tristen met 7 years ago while working as baristas at a local Dunn Brothers Coffee (now Triple D Espresso). While on vacation in Miami Beach last March, Tristen proposed while walking on the beach at sunrise. Fran was actually the one to suggest the sunrise walk so in a way, she planned part of her proposal! How incredibly romantic!

For their engagement session we got private access to the coffee shop (yay!) so we could document where their love story began. It was such a great way to start out their shoot! Being behind the counter with them we could definitely imagine Fran and Tristen exchanging glances and flirty giggles when their love was so excitingly new.

Next we headed over to Crystal Lake for golden hour portraits and the sun did not disappoint! The weather was slightly colder than we thought, probably due to the wind blowing off of the lake, but Fran and Tristen were great sports and let us make sure we got all the shots we needed! It definitely paid off!

Fran and Tristen, thanks for trusting us when we asked you to sit on someone’s doorstep for portraits (because those flowers!) and for such a fun evening together! We can’t wait for your wedding in September!!
