Sun-Drenched Lakeside Engagement Session by Ashlen Sydney Photography

Returning to the scene of their first date was a no-brainer for these two college sweethearts when it came time for their engagement session, and what a beautiful sun-drenched lakeside session it was! Captured by Ashlen Sydney Photography and featuring the couple’s precious pup, Ollie, the session included plenty of dreamy golden hour light, sweet kisses and Logan holding Sydney The Notebook-style for an epic shot with White Rock Lake in the background. How perfect?! The couple plans to be married this fall in Cabo San Lucas, but had to capture this new season of their lives in their home state of Texas before jetting off to their destination wedding! Make sure to read below for more of this sweet couple’s story below. Cheers to the soon-to-be newlyweds!

From the bride on how she and her fiancé met: “Logan and I became friends while we were both at Texas A&M in College Station. We were the same major and shared a few classes together, though I may or may not have seen him from across the rec center and had a ‘love at first sight’ moment – over a year before we actually met! We quickly reconnected when I began attending dental hygiene school at Texas A&M College of Dentistry in Dallas, where Logan is a rising fourth-year dental student.”

And on how he proposed: “Each of my closest friends took me to different places to get ready for the day and each gave me a letter from Logan. After I got ready, I met with both mine and Logan’s family before being escorted outside to a beautiful (and rainy) rooftop where Logan was waiting. It was truly a perfect day and a total surprise (which, if you know me at all, you would know I ruin every surprise… ever).”
