Jere & Ashley

Haley & Ian’s love story started way back in 1st grade.  It wasn’t the traditional, “Girl meets boy…they fall in love…”  Their story starts out more like “Girl meets boy…girl makes a “To Kill List”…and boy’s name is the only name on the list.”  :)  But, said boy likes to think it was actually a “Who I Like List” and I agree.

Fast forward to what started out as picking on each other in 10th and 11th grade, turned into flirting by their senior year.  They liked each other but neither of them said a word about it to the other.  So, when Haley was to be crowned Carrousel Princess at Homecoming she needed an escort.  And, who did she ask? Ian.  That boy she wanted to kill so many years before.

On September 30th, as they approached the archway on the field, Ian asked Haley if she would be his girlfriend.  She said “YES!”  Then, they stepped under the arch, and had their picture taken for the first time as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Five years later, on a carriage ride around uptown Charlotte for their anniversary, Ian asked Haley if she would be his wife.  And, again, she said “YES!”      For their engagement session we headed to the Biltmore Estate!  I had never been in the spring before and it did not disappoint!  Gorgeous!  You’re so beautiful, Haley!Can you tell who their favorite team is???

Thank you for a beautiful day at Biltmore!  Haley, we can’t wait to see you in your wedding gown for the bridals!  And, of course, can’t wait to see the both of you on May 19th…..2012!!  It’ll be here before we know it!  :)
