Sarah and Michael are getting married on this year’s hot wedding date- 10\/10\/10. We met them in our home office ages ago and immediately bonded over our love of small dogs!\u00a0 Sarah and Michael filled us in on their love story, which started when they met at a BBQ held by a mutual friend. Afterward, they went over to Steak n’ Shake and sat in a booth talking until 7am the next morning!<\/p>\n

When it came time to discuss locations for their engagement photos, they wanted to go to places that meant something to them. We started at the St. Pete Times Forum<\/a>, home of the Tampa Bay Lightning! Sarah got us special clearance to shoot in the stadium. Michael had gone to a few games before they met, but it was Sarah<\/em> who’s been a season ticket holder for 11 years. Naturally they go all the time now, so we started their engagement session in their<\/em> seats. Pretty cool. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pretty sure this one’s my favorite. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yep, we even got to go on the ice for a couple minutes! :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Smooching by the players’ bench.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next up, we headed to a little park in downtown Tampa. The light was so gorgeous, I could have shot there all day!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My next favorite. :)\u00a0 You guys are gonna look amazing in October!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sarah, you’re gonna make a beautiful bride!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sarah’s alma mater is in the background. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I just told you how Steak n’ Shake played a big part in their first meeting. What I didn’t mention yet is that Michael proposed to her there as well, right where it all began! He popped the question in the spot in the photo on the right, which is where they first hugged. :)\u00a0 Adorable<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This last photo is them in the very same booth they first talked all night. <3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sarah and Michael, thank you so much for choosing us and letting us shoot in some new places with you guys!! We can’t wait for October! :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
