Kate and Bryant are childhood sweethearts, and their undeniable chemistry shows in every photo. These two-lovebirds share an amazing story, so keep scrolling to witness their budding love.
How They Met:
“My fiancé and I have known each other since childhood, attending the same local church since we were 10 years old.”
What I Love. . .
“Bryant has many great qualities but my favorite would be his kind heart and free spirit. My partner is very hard working and known for going out of his way for people and sacrificing his time for someone that is in need of his help. His free spirit inspires me to worry less and be more of a dreamer. He encourages me to seek adventure and enjoy the simple things in life.”
The Proposal:
“In June 2017, my two best friends and I were on vacation in Florida. A few days into our vacation, Bryant unexpectedly shows up and proposes right on the beach! Turns out he road-tripped all night to surprise me and I had absolutely no idea!”
“Bryant and I love and grew up in Philadelphia, so we were inspired to take our engagement photos in some unique parts of it. There are so many beautiful places in this city so we had many different options!”
Wedding Planning:
“Yes, we have started wedding planning. To be honest, it has not been stressful at all. Our focus is to have a fun time with family and friends, rather than focusing on everything being perfect.”
“Our engagement photographer was so much fun and easy to work with. This was our first photo session so we didn’t know what to expect. Afrik Armando set a very chill and comfortable environment, allowing us to be ourselves and capturing our best moments.”
