Michelle + Ryan are so adorable! They hired Kristen and Brandon Kidd to capture their love and I just love how the photos turned out – and wait until you see the ribbon swing Stephanie from Ribbons and Rust made for them. :)


From Michelle, “We met while working at Huntington Surf & Sport. He was, and still is the marketing manager over there & at the time I was the merchandiser. We knew each other for a couple years before dating. After our first date in Sunset Beach, we knew we had something special. It was just one of those feelings where you know, even after just 1 date. Last September he took me back to that very same spot & that’s where he popped the question. I know, so cliché, right? But I wouldn’t want it any other way.”







To us, this shoot was a celebration of love! When we first started planning for this engagement shoot, we knew the 2 things we wanted it to be based around. #1: Hearts! Heart straws, glasses & even heart confetti and #2 Ribbons! How amazing is that swing that Stephanie from Ribbons & Rust created for us? Various nights searching on etsy & trips to Home Depot and bam! We were able to have our vision come to life! We couldn’t have done it without the help of Brandon, Kristin, Stephanie & Ryan’s dad (who cut those giant 5 foot letters for us… thanks Mikey!!).
