One year ago Chelsea and Cody went and picked out her engagement ring. These two met at a party in college back in 2009 and have been making their life together since. How they actually got together at that party is told different depending on if you ask Chelsea or Cody.

They had the “crazy” idea to have their wedding reception at a local brewery near their home, Cactus Land Brewery, but that didn’t end up being in the cards. So I said, “What if we take your engagements there?” I am so glad they loved the idea and that the owners of Cactus Land opened their doors for us on a weekend that they were not open publically so we got the whole place to ourselves!

It was a windy session, but they powered through and were so amazing about it! Cody was able to get a laugh out of Chelsea at the drop of the hat and made it so easy to get snuggly romantic shots as well. Chelsea was such a good sport about my crazy requests, like, when I said I wanted to take a ring shot on her ADORABLE Keds!

I had such an amazing time and CANNOT wait for their wedding this winter!
