Nicky and Colin have found each other years ago (since 2008 to be more specific) at a party, and from day 1 the connection was there. They spoted each other, started talking and it was like these two souls were matched in heaven and came back to earth to find each other and spend their lived together. This seems to true, that the year is 2020 and, they are getting married!!! Isn’t this perfection? They have meet and their hearts already knew even if they themselves didn’t, that they were meant to be together.
I am very excited for this dear couple of mine, they are very special to me also because Colin and I work at the same client once or twice a week. We barely have the time to talk, but Colin quickly asked me if I could be their wedding photographer. Of Course!!! I was honored and I got even more excited when I met Nicole, this sweet and smart lady, who is passionate about her fiancé, her family and work. You guys are so cute together, makes my heart smile 🙂
They are planning their wedding at the Camp Deep Creek this upcoming October. Only a few more weeks to celebrate their love.
Enjoy their engagement photos at the Gambrill State Park and, their love story below 🙂
Daysy: How did you meet?
Nicky+Colin: We met at a mutual friend’s birthday party, it was summer of 2008. I don’t think either of us were at the party for very long before we found each other and started talking.
What are some common hobbies/interests that the two of you share?
Nicky+Colin: We love going on hikes and walks in the woods with our dog Jaxx, making each other laugh, being silly together, relaxing at home, and going to concerts.
What a beautiful and meaningful ring. This was Colin’s grandmother’s engagement ring, passed on Nicole’s hand. Let’s appreciate the vintage beautiful it carries and history behind it too! I am in love!
Where did you go for your 1st date?
Nicky+Colin: Was at Sakura, in the Rio. It is no longer there, but we had dinner and then we walked around the lake at the Rio. We found some rocks near the water and talked for a while.
Daysy: Are you planning to honeymoon? If yes, where do you have plans to go to?
Nicky+Colin: We would like to go to Iceland for our honeymoon, might be a couple of years before we do but that is the plan.
How did he/she propose? Can you describe that moment?
Nicky+Colin: It was after a night of hanging out with our friends, we were sitting at home on the couch watching TV and eating pizza. It was a spontaneous moment for him, it was also our 7th year being together, he asked me if I would marry him, I of course said yes. My thinking was that he has asked this question many times over the years, so I thought it was just another time like that. But then he gets up from the couch and goes upstairs. I did not think anything of it, then he came downstairs and asked me to stand. So I did, he then asked the question again and presented a ring.
How do you imagine yourselves as a couple from now to 5 years?
Nicky+Colin: I would imagine us as a couple from now to 5 years is really how it looks now. We want to continue growing as a couple and as individuals, and having kids.
