Katherine + Collin Engagement | Ocean Springs, MS

Two right swipes and here they are, engaged and getting married in a month! Katherine + Collin went on their first date in 2017, talked until the restaurant closed, then sat on the benches outside and kept talking hours into the Ocean Springs night. They’re both big into fitness (in case you couldn’t tell), and she’s a human resource manager who also teaches Les Mills at the YMCA. Meanwhile, he’s a firefighter!… explaining so no one feels held to unreasonable standards looking through these. (;

During one of their body pump workouts together, Collin set up his iPad to film saying it was to post to social media. And it was all true, too! Except for mid-way through the workout, he finished out a lunge and stayed on that knee. She said yes!!! After that, their friends and family came out from hiding behind the Freedom Field fence in Ocean Springs to congratulate the couple and throw them a surprise engagement party!

With so much of their story developing in OS, it seemed only fitting to have their engagement session there, too. We started our time together downtown before they changed into matching Hey Dude sneakers with their rival Ole Miss/MSU colors. Afterward, we drove over to Ocean Spring’s Front Beach and finished their session in the water. 

Right before us, a family was feeding the birds and some of the shots we got were seriously epic to the nth.  Keep an eye out for that perfect circle of birds! It’s the kind of moment that shouldn’t happen in real life, but it did! These two just belong. In conclusion, the camera clearly loves them a lot and our little team can’t wait to capture these guys again!!
