Ryan and Bri – Engagement – Paris, France

They didn’t believe me, but this was exactly how I wanted to spend my last day in Paris.

They met in college and followed similar career paths. They have matured together and have kept their youthful flirtatiousness and curiosity. They adventured to France and with her grandmother’s earring turned into a unique ring, he asked her to be his forever.

I had already spent a week in Paris exploring with my Fuji X100s, starving to take portraits around the city with which I had so easily fallen in love. We had only met once before and toyed with the idea of meeting up in Paris. We did and spent our July 4th in an English pub in Paris, watching France vs. Germany, eating Indian food, and making friends with Canadians. The spectacular night turned more magical when they revealed their engagement.

Of course, I couldn’t resist insisting on taking a few shots around the city that catapaulted them into the next stage of their love. Congratulations, Ryan and Bri! Thank you for the privilege of exploring in the Paris rain with you!
