Ryan and Leigh-Anne: Engaged

Ryan and Leigh-Anne are one of those couples that after you spend time with them, you can’t imagine their love story going any other way than being together.  They compliment each other beautifully, have the same sense of humor, and are true teammates.  I have known Ryan since I was 9 years old.  He’s been my brother’s best friend for as long as I can remember and has also been like a brother to me for many years.  I couldn’t imagine someone better for someone so close to my family than Leigh-Anne and just am so lucky to know both of them.

When my brother, Matt, tells the story of Ryan and Leigh-Anne getting together, his version of the story involves an intense afternoon of Kan Jam in Central Park with our group of friends.  (For those of you who don’t know, Kan Jam is a team frisbee game fostering brotherhood, and intense competition).  
Regardless of whether Kan Jam had anything to do with it, one thing I know that’s true is that Ryan and Leigh-Anne were meant to be together.  Their positivity and unconditional love for one another shines bright and is inspiring to everyone around them.  I could not have been happier when they got engaged last year at Christmastime.  Watching their life develop together as they recently started another chapter as homeowners has been pretty amazing as well.

One a cloudy (ok, rainy) day in November, we ventured out into FDR Park in Yorktown where Ryan and I grew up to take some engagement shots.  It was just FUN.  Being able to catch up with these two while stopping periodically to snap some casual photos?  Priceless.  Hoping I did their love a little bit of justice and that they’ll be able to keep these close to them for years to come.  Congrats, you guys.  Here are just a few of my favorites.

One of my favorites.  So them, and so candid.

And then it started raining…
