Luis was the first to contact me about engagement sessions. He being a law student and Shannon being a nurse in Kansas City, had to find the perfect date within their busy schedules for their session. The day finally came and the weather was absolutely perfect for the fall plaza engagement session. Although the trees weren’t fully changed in color they were still perfectly beautiful!

HOW DID YOU MEET?

Friends of friends, we slowly built up a friendship and then finally went out. We went to go watch Coco at the local theater. Luis was too nervous afterwards and simply dropped Shannon off.

THE PROPOSAL STORY

We went to the beachfront at the local state park by our university. It was where I first asked her to date me. I had my friend help me set up the location and document it.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT EACH OTHER?

Luis: I love how smart and weird and caring she is. She’s very sweet and loving, and she shows me that constantly.

Shannon: Luis is very goofy and always finds a way to make me smile, even on my worst days. He always listens to me and I know he would do anything for me.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO TOGETHER?

We love just laying around together and watching Netflix, spending time by each other. We like spending days by the pool or in the garden.

WHAT MAKES YOU TWO A UNIQUE COUPLE?

We are both very different, but our personalities complement each other and we are able to support the other and help each other grow. We are also weird and always find a way to have fun.
