Mark and Mai – engaged!

Mark and Mai are a perfect couple and a delight to be around! Alan and I have known Mark since our college days when Mark and Alan were roommates. Mark has always been a good friend and we have always enjoyed spending time with him. When he met and began dating Mai, we were delighted…and then when we met Mai our excitement only grew as we saw them bring out the best in each other.  When we heard they were engaged, we couldn’t have been happier!  And then to top it all off they gave us the honor of being their photographers…

We planned a lovely, early October morning for their engagement session, and woke up to snow on the ground…how delightful…or cold. But Mark and Mai didn’t miss a beat. When they got out of the car Mai looked at us and said, “isn’t it nice out here?” Then off we were to take pictures!

Did I mention, they are getting married on our anniversary! Clearly they know a good date when they see one.

Our destination around Como Lake was this dock where last May Mark proposed after an elaborately planned date.

Mai had been hoping to do an outfit change and have some pictures with a dressier feel. Unfortunately when it’s 20 something outside and there is snow all over the ground, dressy clothes with no coats doesn’t work as well as you might think. We decided to schedule another day where we could spend an extra few moments with dressier outfits and hopefully warmer weather. Turned out we got the nice weather…63 and sunny!

Mark and Mai, we are sooooo happy for you and are absolutely delighted to be a part of your day! We wish you many blessings as you prepare for your wedding day!
