Branton and Libby told us that they wanted their engagement photos to be natural and include their dogs Henry & Floss. As we sat down for a Zoom meeting with them, they were so excited to tell us all about their plans for their relaxed and fun wedding day. They shared their vision for a reception filled with joy, their registry plans, and most importantly, their desire for everyone to have a blast on their special day. Their relationship exudes an effortless and easy going connection.
The Beginning of Their Journey
High school was the setting where their paths first crossed. What started as a friendship soon blossomed into something more. They went on a few dates and became inseparable friends, which laid the foundation for the remarkable bond they share today. After school, they took different paths, with Libby moving to London and Branton becoming her roommate later on. Living together for six months made it obvious that their connection was not just easy, but natural—leading them to get engaged.
A Proposal Full of Surprises
When it came to Branton’s proposal, he aimed to create a moment that was uniquely them. It was Christmas Eve, and the setting was cozy and intimate. Branton, known for his lack of a poker face, attempted to act normal, but his nervous excitement gave him away. Libby playfully questioned whether he was planning to propose while they were watching a TV show. Little did she know, the proposal was on its way.
He suggested going under an arch of Christmas lights, which, ironically, Libby was initially hesitant about. Branton’s nerves got the best of him, causing him to accidentally ruin the proposal plan twice. However, his persistence and love won out in the end. With amethyst and garnet engagement rings—a beautiful representation of their unique journey—Branton proposed, and Libby said yes.
Dog-Loving Engagement Session
Their engagement session was a true reflection of their personalities—relaxed, casual, and filled with genuine joy. Taking place at Cleeland Bight Beach in Cape Woolamai, the couple’s favorite dog beach, Floss and Henry, their beloved dogs, stole the show. Arriving early to burn off their pets’ energy, Branton and Libby showcased their natural connection as they played with their furry companions. The session transitioned seamlessly from planned poses to capturing spontaneous moments of laughter, walks along the shore, and sitting with their dogs—all in a picturesque beach setting.
Capturing Natural Moments
The heart of Branton and Libby’s engagement session was their desire for authenticity. They wanted their love to shine through naturally, without forced poses or scripted interactions. And that’s exactly what was achieved as we observed them laughing, sharing stories, and enjoying the presence of each other and their furry friends.
As their wedding day approaches, their focus remains on the happiness and enjoyment of everyone present. With a deep connection that started in high school, nurtured through distance and shared experiences, Branton and Libby are a living example of how love can be easy and genuine. Their engagement session serves as a beautiful preview of the love-filled celebration that awaits them—a celebration that will undoubtedly be as relaxed and candid as their engagement journey.
In the end, Branton and Libby’s story reminds us that love is about embracing each other’s quirks, sharing laughter, and cherishing the natural moments that make a relationship truly special.
