To start, Heather is simply the sweetest person. We met for the first time on Saturday, but have been exchanging emails. Even before meeting her, I knew we would click. She’s smart, funny and has incredible taste. (Wait til you see the wedding details. Eeee!) Ritchie is a bit of an athlete (he played football in college) with a great sense of humor and tons of love and respect for Heather. They’re cool. And classy. But I’m not gonna lie, they’re good at being silly, too!

Their engagement session was a great day of hanging out with fun new friends. (And, no, I’m not just saying that because we have a mutual adoration of all things Ricky Bobby!)

When Ritchie isn’t traveling around the world for work (he was stuck in Europe for 5 extra days due to the volcano ash – yikes!), he loves to play golf. And he and Heather love to play golf together. It’s their thing. So, it makes perfect sense that Ritchie proposed to Heather at a golf course. He put her ball on the tee and when she looked down, there he was, kneeling with the (incredibly gorgeous) ring. Such a surprise! And oh, so clever! When thinking of locations to shoot their engagement session, we knew we simply HAD to go to a golf course.

Ohio had some crazy weather this past weekend—the winds were blowing 30-40 mph. And it was COLD. Seriously, Ohio. It’s MAY!  I knew they had to be freezing, but they were such troopers! Even when we crazily asked them to lay on the ground. Ritchie joked that it helped block them from the wind. See why we love them?!

Heather and Ritchie are just the kind of people we feel blessed to come across in our work: kind, funny, and they adore each other. Jonah and I can’t wait for their big day and are so thankful we will be there to capture it. Here are some of our favorites :
