Ledyard Sawmill Engagement: Melissa + Seth

Photography

Sunday evening could not of emulated a more beautiful depiction of a fall day in NE! Melissa + Seth decided to capture their love at the Ledyard Sawmill, as it’s rustic, natural feel, gives us all a little foretaste of what their barn wedding will be like this upcoming June! 

These two met back in High School at NFA,  but ended up on a double date with some friends in 2015. Let’s just say the double date wasn’t the most relaxing place to be (haha), but it did allow their paths to cross again. It wasn’t till they reached out to one another a little whiles after that, when they had their first date ALONE is where they really hit it off! After that, they were inseparable. 

One Monday night, Seth asked her out to dinner. And of course, Melissa isn’t thinking anything of it because it felt like just another date. As soon as she was getting out of the car, he surprised her, and was down on one knee!! With her beautiful ring in hand, Melissa of course said, “Yes!”

These two are each others best friends who knew right away that they wanted to do this thing called life together. They are looking forward to raising a family in their sweet home and cannot wait to be surrounded by their close friends + family on their wedding day!

 Ahh, the sun gave us that beautiful glow!
