Downtown Roswell Engagement Pictures | Claire + Jon | Georgia

A few years ago two college kids hopped on a plane.  Sounds pretty ordinary, right?

It wasn’t.

The plane was on its way to Kenya and among the several passengers were Claire and Jon, who were heading there for a mission trip.

The two had briefly met at a few organizational meetings that were held before the trip, but never really spent much time talking to each other.

They ended up sitting next to each other on their long flight and talked like they’d been friends forever.  Claire “accidentally” fell asleep with her arm linked in Jon’s, and their new friendship continued to blossom after the got off the plane.

The mission experience in Africa served as a great bonding experience and Claire and Jon decided it would be a good idea to stay in touch once they returned back to the States.

Fast forward to this past May, when Claire and her family were in Costa Rica on vacation. She was rushing to get ready for a family photo shoot on the beach, and finally made it down to the sand for the pictures.

Once there she saw someone walking toward her who looked just like Jon.  She couldn’t believe her eyes when he got closer and it WAS Jon.

She ran over to hug him and then all of a sudden he was down on one knee asking her to marry him.

Of course she said yes, and we got to take engagement pictures this morning to celebrate!

Claire and Jon, I’m so glad that the weather held up and we were able to have fun roaming around downtown Roswell.  Thanks for showing me a new part of town and being such good sports through multiple locations and outfit changes.  Can’t wait for the big day!

XOXO,
B

Love this.  You guys are hilarious!
