Breanna + Nick | Marquette Michigan Engagement
High school often becomes the stage of transition; experiencing and finding new interests, meeting new people and creating deeper friendships, falling in love and yet, often, surviving that first heartbreak. It’s a rare beauty to leave those four years and keep “your person” (as only Meridith and Cristina explained to us in Grey’s Anatomy) by your side. Perhaps it’s even more uncommon to leave with your first love still holding your hand. But that’s exactly the case for high school sweethearts, Breanna and Nick.
Fast forward to their 10 year anniversary and Nick finds himself in a jewelry shop prior to their dinner plans. He told himself he was just looking, but when his eyes stopped on a ring that was undoubtedly perfect for Breanna, he bought it. As the two settled down in the restaurant for dinner, Nick suddenly realized he hadn’t asked Breanna’s dad for permission. Keeping his cool and trying to remain casual, he pulled out his phone and sent Breanna’s dad a text. Naturally, Nick didn’t receive a text back, but an immediate phone call. Excusing himself from the table, Nick cornered himself in the men’s room while talking to Breanna’s dad, and in the end Nick got a yes not just from dad, but from the girl of his dreams.
On the day of B+N’s engagement session, rain was in the forecast. Of course. But the two of them were willing to stay flexible and risk it with us. The rain held back as we adventured from trails to lake to downtown Marquette, and we didn’t feel a rain drop until we were in the last pose in their last location; hello – it was perfect. We can’t wait for next summer to see these two tie the knot!
