I will never ever forget my first meeting with Cassie and Nick. We had been chatting for a few emails before our initial meeting and when the day came they asked if we could bump it up to an earlier time. That was fine for me but there was a problem… Jose had been coming to all my meetings with me and now, he wouldn’t be able to get out of work in time to meet with them as well. I was going to have to meet them alone. This was my first couple meeting all alone, just me, and I was SO nervous. The minute they walked through the door though all those nerves just washed away. I felt like I had known Cassie & Nick forever, even though this was my first time even speaking to him. There was a mutual connection between the three of us INSTANTLY! It’s very rare for me to have so much in common with BOTH my bride and groom – typically, as a woman I relate more to the Bride. But Nick loves The Muppets and WWE! Like ME! So naturally we instantly bonded 🙂 Of course Cassie and I bonded immediately too… I spotted her gorgeous J.Crew coat a mile away and loved it! I just love these two and tell Jose all the time how much he would love them too.

I was so excited to see them again for their Engagement Session at Bear Mountain last week. We had been brainstorming for a while where their session would be before they finally decided on Bear Mountain and it was just perfect! And seeing them again was like seeing old friends. We walked around, talked about their summer and how it’s been going and of course some WWE talk did come up 🙂 I am so excited to share their Bear Mountain Engagement Session today with you!

I LOVE Cassie’s style! J.Crew, the Gap… a LOT like my own personal style 🙂 so naturally I loved the stripes and mint combo!

This is the book Nick used to propose to Cassie! Nick is an Art Teacher so of course he put his creativity to work with his proposal. The first half of the book was filled with fun memories with nicknames and photos of them through their seven years of dating and then the second half, he glued together and carved a hole in the middle of it where he tied the ring and it read WILL YOU MARRY ME? I was so impressed by this story but even MORE impressed when I actually saw it in person! I asked him at their session “How long did it take to do this??” and with a laugh he simply said “a LONG TIME!” And of course right when he was done with it all he spilled his Yoohoo all over it! lol

My couples are the best! With no hesitation, they treaded through the water to get to this adorable little island in the middle of the lake. Um… SO worth it!

Cassie spotted this cute bench on their drive into Bear Mountain and thought it’d be cute for a photo! Yup, I think so 🙂

    I have to say this is wonderful. I just happened to look up benches at B
    ear Mountain and saw this. If i’m not mistaken this is the bench we had made for my mom when she passed away. She would be warmed and excited that this photo was taken there. Thanks
