Jamie + Ronnie! Whoohoo! Congrats you two! Email me at valerie@valerieshannonphotography.com to confirm that you accept your prize of a FREE couples session with me!

If you’d like to read a little about Jamie and Ronnie, here are some fun facts:

1) We were from rival towns in high school! So, I knew about him and thought he was literally the cutest guy ever, but could obviously never say anything. I was dating his biggest rival in our school, so he obviously didn’t approach me either until after high school ended. We finally got to meet and turns out the whole town loves him (now anyways ????)

2) Our first date, we went to a haunted house because it was Halloween. The funny thing is, he totally thought I was “punking him” because we were “rivals.” So, he had all his friends out and ready just in case I brought guys from back home to ambush him! ????????????

3) The first time he told me he loved me was on our first Valentine’s Day together. I had made him “open when” letters and he opened the one that said “open when you think you’re (in-like) with me ???? so right after that he told me that they were his favorite gifts he’s ever received. That’s was one of my favorite days in the world. ????

4) through both of us working full time while going to school full time, maintaining a relationship was beyond hard. He has been the most patient man I have ever met. He puts my needs first, always, while maintaining a good gpa and even helping me when I feel like I can’t do it anymore. Here we are two years later, he just graduated 2 days ago with his bachelors in business and I have two semesters left before I have my bachelors in psychology. Life is going the way we planned, we’ve looked at rings and I really can’t wait to marry this man! Just waiting for the question at this point ????

5) Lastly, through the stress and overwhelming parts of our relationship… We took a “break” last summer because I was so overwhelmed with school, work and just being in a relationship… I couldn’t keep up with my emotions. He managed to message me everyday, even though it wasn’t what I wanted to hear, we managed to get through whatever we had going on and ended up stronger than ever. We realized that We rather be stressed managing everything than without each other. He’s my best friend.

I can’t wait to work with you both, it’s going to be so much fun! Happy Thursday everyone!
