As some of you know, before doing our business completely full time, I was teaching. I met some amazing people and through those amazing people, Brian sent me an email. I love to know how couples met while getting to know them and how these two met is probably one of my favorite stories so far.

“How did we meet? Christiane's aunt, Ann, is my colleague at work. In May 2018, Ann asked if was interested in meeting her niece. Christiane was living in Georgia at the time, so I wasn't sure how that was going to work. We ended up meeting half way in Nashville for a weekend get together (Ann and her husband drove down with me and Christiane and her parents drove up from Georgia), so I was basically on a weekend long first date with Christiane and her parents. We hit it off, had a blast and decided to continue to see each other. After a year of long distance, Christiane moved to Cincinnati in July and we got engaged in November.”

Shay met my parents pretty close to us starting to date, but Oh man, I would have been so nervous if my first date with him was with parents in tow. Brian + Christiane are so lovely. They met me downtown for their engagment session and we had a blast. We couldn’t have asked for better weather for February.
