Michelle + Todd’s Surprise Engagement

A Love Chosen Again and Again

Some engagement sessions are beautiful. Some are meaningful. And every once in a while, we get to witness something truly sacred.

Michelle and Todd’s surprise engagement session was one of those moments.

Surrounded by the quiet beauty of the beautiful evening, Todd surprised Michelle with a heartfelt proposal and a gift that perfectly captured the foundation of their relationship a custom canvas declaring the words, “I Choose You.” Not just for one day, but every day. In every season. In every version of reality.

One of the most touching moments of the evening was a private foot-washing ceremony. A beautiful act of humility, service, and Christ centered love, it reflected the commitment they are making to walk through life hand in hand, placing one another’s needs above their own. It was so special in everyway!

As photographers, we have the privilege of documenting love stories, but this felt like so much more than an engagement session. It was a living picture of what marriage was designed to be: a daily choice to love unconditionally, to serve faithfully, and to keep choosing each other through every chapter ahead.

Michelle and Todd, thank you for allowing us to be part of such an intimate and unforgettable moment. Your love for one another shines brightly, and we cannot wait to see what God has in store for your future together.

Congratulations on your engagement!
