High school sweethearts turned life time lovers. Alana and Michael were in the same class freshman year. Alana noticed him right away and was so happy to sit near him. She was even happier when she found out they were in almost all the same classes that year. They became the best of friends right away. There was just something about the way they could talk for hours and hours that was surpassed the normal high school romance. Alana remembers how they would meet up at the school playground near her home and they would swing together. Those swings were where they started a relationship that would last 9 years. They even shared their first kiss on that quiet little playground. These guys dated all through high school, and shared all the best memories together. Other than a brief time apart after high school , they have been attached to each other, heart, mind and soul. Michael is a free spirit, and Alana is a planner. Together, they bring their personalities together to create a perfect whole. They aren’t just partners, but lovers and best friends all wrapped up into one. He supports her dreams and she sees all the best in him.  Alana now teaches at the same school where she and Michael would visit the swings. Michael is in school and is an amazing musician and artist. Last summer, they adventured to the Oregon Coast, one of their favorite places in the world. One evening, at Cannon Beach, they spent time telling stories and sharing memories and watching the sunset. As the sun dipped low, Michael asked his sweetheart the most important question of his life, and presented her with a lovely antique inspired morganite diamond ring. Alana happily said yes and ended the night with all the love in the world.

Alana and Michael live in the cutest little apartment in downtown Hamilton, Montana. They have lived her together, joining their lives together one day at a time. Every piece of furniture or decor in their home holds a significance to them and their relationship. They have bought some pieces of antique furniture via FiresideAntiques.com and the whole apartment looks perfect. Alana loves her family and included a ring box that has been passed down from her grandmother in her decor. She loves anything handmade and feminine. She is amazing and put so much time and effort into making their first home perfect for their in home Montana engagements. They danced in the kitchen, cuddled by the Christmas tree and snuggled on their bed. We then ventured outside to the snow. These guys scouted out the perfect location to capture the true beauty of the Bitterroot mountains. This valley holds such a special place in both of their hearts, it was only right to record their love with the mountains softly in the background. I am thrilled to be apart of this special couple’s love story. I’m counting the days until their wedding in October 2017!
