Oroville Engagement Photographer: Brian + Kelley

May 17

We met Kelley and Brian at the Winter Chico bridal show. Jena was washing her hands when Kelley kindly complimented her hair, she noticed Jena’s Vendor badge and Kelley inquired to see if Jena was a hair stylist. Jena gave her a little info about our booth and encouraged her to check us out. When Kelley made her rounds we noticed her at the end of our aisle and we waved excitedly. We instantly adored her and hoped we’d talk to her soon! Fast forward a few weeks and we were talking wedding plans!

This couple complement each other so well, Brian is reserved and Kelley is bubbly. Kelley is a planner and Brian goes with the flow. There’s no question here why they’re so compatible. The way Brian looks at Kelley when she’s not looking says it all.

Kelley said their meeting was “sort of by accident” but I wonder if fate had a hand in it.

Brian and Kelley have been dating for 10 years and for years, Brian had been waiting for the right time to propose. As unexpected as life is, the right time is unknown. Until BOOM it’s happening. After all these year they agreed the time was officially right and they would schedule their wedding May of 2022. So Brian took Kelley to pick out a ring. Brian was nervous about doing this alone and couldn’t imagine these moments without kelley beside him. Kelley chose a stunning opal ring, Brian really felt she deserved diamonds but her heart was set on this lovely opal. While browsing for her ring he also spotted the one for himself. So, while there is no proposal “moment” they share the experience of being together finding the perfect rings that will symbolize their commitment to one another. They have been building a lasting relationship that IS the grand splendor. Kelley expressed how Brian is so kind, loving, supportive, and that he is so helpful. To further express to you Brian’s willingness to please his bride; she asked if we could stage a proposal. Without fuss or grief, Brian asked “where” and got down on one knee and presented Kelley her stunning ring. After this gesture and Jena and I were so taken by Brian; it was so clear to see the love between them in that single moment and it was beautiful.

In my eyes everyday gestures outshine most grand proposal moments. Everyday spent loving, trusting and understanding one another is more than a singular big romantic gesture.

Brian and Kelley have put ten years into building a sturdy foundation to create a beautiful strong marriage and life to come.

The wedding day is quickly approaching and we couldn’t be more excited to capture the magic.
