Lauren and Laine first met while working at the YMCA and immediately hit it off during a team outing. Many drinks later, he asked her out to a lunch date, which ended with endless rounds of drunk Mario Kart.
When it came time for the proposal, the two went to Nashville to watch the total solar eclipse [1] at a winery. Laine had everything planned out perfectly, and about a minute in to the eclipse, he got down on one knee and presented Lauren with a ring box. As she said, "Yes!" the sun began to peek past the moon, lighting up the entire sky.
Although they couldn't re-create that exact magic for their engagement shoot, they came pretty close. They met their photographer at the top of Goat Hill Overlook in Lambertville, NJ, during the golden hour [2], when the trees illuminated in a stunning orange. Lauren's bouquet matched the sunset beautifully, and the view of the Delaware River below only added to their photos.
See how they turned out ahead!
