Leslie and Cassidy both attended Rockhurst University in Kansas City but didn’t meet until years into their programs while both attending a mission trip in the Caribbean.

Ben proposed to Alyssa with a stunning vintage ring nestled inside a Pokeball that said “I choose you!” So it made total sense that these adorable nerdy birds wanted to snag some engagement photos decked out in their nerdy gear — specifically their Star Wars Jerseys.

How a racy Christmas card turned into a new funny card tradition (and an engagement!)

I heard a very silly tale that turned out to be pretty damned romantic that I just had to share. Alyssa saw a hilarious “dudoir” Christmas card that piqued her interest. This led to a new relationship, new tradition of creative Christmas cards, and an eventual proposal.

It's vintage love at this quirky thrift shop engagement shoot

It’s vintage love at this quirky thrift shop engagement shoot

We dreaded the idea of a lovey-dovey shoot with butterfly kisses, so we agreed to just not have engagement photos done. BUT then we were granted this really awesome opportunity to shoot our engagement session with an awesome photographer who loves out-of-the-norm wedding photos, and we had the idea to shoot at Goodwill.
