Real Engagement: Brittany & Sean

From the photographer: Getting to know Brittany and Sean has been such an awesome and inspiring experience. They are both heavily involved in the Catholic church and aspire to be even better Christians together as a couple. Christ is definitely the center of their relationship and it is obvious in the way they treat each other with a loving and mutual respect. Brittany LOVES the chivalrous ways of a man so it was really fun to incorporate that into their shoot.

We even spent a portion of their engagement session at Jungle Gardens where I documented the process of them writing the letters to each other that they will read on their wedding day. When Brittany, Sean, and I first met we talked a lot about their faith and how it was a very important part of their relationship. So, we really wanted to incorporate this aspect of their relationship into their engagement session.

Their church (St. John’s Cathedral) is not only where they’ll be wed, but also…the chapel next door is the place where Sean proposed. Sean wasn’t able to make the Church group’s summer camp so he was bringing Brittany to St. John’s to meet up with everyone traveling to New Orleans. They spent a moment together praying in the chapel beside the church. Brittany says that she can still remember the moment that he leaned over and kissed her on the shoulder while they prayed together. After making the sign of the cross, Brittany stood to exit the chapel, but much to her surprise, Sean dropped down to his knee. There, in the chapel, with the Lord as their witness Sean asked Brittany to say yes to being his wife.
