I needed a pick me up this week, and these two were just the ticket! Lauren is a new bride to the 2019 wedding season (though far from what is my typical “season”), and will be the first bride of the new year! So far we have had the best time picking outfits and locations for this shoot, I can’t wait to see what she has in store for their big day come January! If you can’t grab the theme of our little airplane set, that’s ok, it’s really just about this beautiful lady and her adorable bangs. See you in few months!

How did you meet?

Lauren may have a slightly different story, but I think we first met in a Auto-Cad class back in high school. She sat one computer down from me, and we would tease each other here and there. Then we would only see each other when she would come over for my sister’s Spanish videos, and once in a while babysitting the neighbors. She kept a close eye on me, haha! – Seth

How did you meet?

In high school. I was a sophomore and Seth was a junior, we had a drafting class together. (Apparently it only stuck with me!) – Lauren

I couldn’t get this kid out of my head after that drafting class! I had a crush on him for years, borderline stalked him, and quietly (or not…depending who you ask) pushed myself into his life until he liked me back. It probably would have scared most guys off, truthfully I think I did scare him a little, but, as Seth will tell anyone, I can be quite stubborn when I want to be. We eventually hung out a few times, and then he finally asked me on a date in January. I wish I could go back and re-watch that date – I was seventeen, he was eighteen! Gosh we must have been adorable…and awkward. – Lauren

I thought our first date went really well. I remember thinking to myself, “Why didn’t I date this girl sooner?” I couldn’t believe how well our personalities matched, we just clicked. Anyways, I believe our first date involved a lunch date to Harvey’s. So, nothing terribly fancy! I remember we laughed and joked around, and still do so today. I’m one lucky guy! – Seth

How long had you been dating before getting engaged?

7.5 years OR 138 miles apart, 2 degrees each, 2 honorable degrees in patience and trust, and many repeated iterations of “the light at the end of the tunnel gets closer every day”. – Lauren
We were dating for 7 and a half years before we got engaged. I proposed the same week I learned I passed my board exam. It was the best week of my life, so far! – Seth
