Sarah and Jimmy. Engaged.
Can you tell these pictures were taken at 8 0’clock in the morning? It was Martin Luther King Day and let me just tell you…IT WAS FREEZING!
Sarah and Jimmy really wanted snow for their session. Although we weren’t expecting snow that morning, they got their wish. Right when we started shooting, it started snowing. So cool!
It was below 20 degrees. Their love kept them warm.
Congrats on your engagement, friends. Xo!
When and where is your wedding?
September 14, 2013 at Scioto Reserve in Powell, Ohio
How did you meet?
We met through our good friends, Matt and Jennifer. But it wasn’t one of those, “I want to set you up with so and so types of situations”; we were merely introduced as friends. James asked Matt for Sarah’s number that night. A week later, we reconnected at Matt’s apartment for an OSU football game; we have spent almost every day together since.
Tell us about your proposal!
James: On a cool spring day in May I suggested that we go to a local metro park with our dog Kali. I had recently heard of the park through a friend and was told there was an overlook where we could see bald eagles along with a great view. We hiked a few miles to this site and we enjoyed the sunset together. I expressed my love for her, got down on one knee, and asked her to be my wife. She said YES =).
Sarah: We have date night every week, usually on Tuesdays. That Tuesday I had to work late so we decided on Wednesday (so I wouldn’t expect anything apparently :)). We wanted to take our dog, Kali, on a walk because it was so nice out and with High Banks right down the road we could let her off the leash and she could run. We walked a few miles to this beautiful bridge with an amazing view. He had Kali sit as he said all these sweet things, I honestly don’t remember anything he said. Then he took out the ring and got down on one knee.
What’s your favorite thing about your significant other?
James: My favorite thing about Sarah is the way she makes me feel when I’m feeling down about something. She has a way of making sure I know everything will be alright.
Sarah: My favorite thing about Jimmy is his heart. He is the most caring person I’ve ever met. He puts everyone else before himself and would honestly do anything for me.
What makes you guys unique?
Jimmy: Sarah and I are unique because our love is different than any other relationship. We have never slept in different rooms because of a fight and we’ve almost always kissed each other goodnight. It’s the little things.
Sarah: We are unique because he really is my best friend. He’s the person I go to for advice, for anything exciting that happens, for any reason I’m upset. We talk about everything and we are 100% honest with each other.
How did you find Crystal Jo?
We actually aren’t sure. We made a list of all of the photographers that we wanted to meet and talk with, and she happened to be one of them. But how she got on that list we don’t really know. We like to call it, fate. =)
