Missy + Jon = Engaged!

Missy and Jon couldn't be more cute together!  I love that I photographed one of their friends' weddings, so I am even that much more excited to be a part of their engagement and wedding day photos.  Such a special couple and you can't help but be happy around them.  They both are full of life and have a great love for each other. I loved taking their engagement pictures and getting to know them better.

Below are a few of my favorites from the engagement photo shoot and a little more about their love story...

Missy and Jon met thru a mutual friend that Jon went to IU with. They all went out as a group to Broad Ripple and Jon and Missy hit it off.  They went on their first date a week later to a Pacers game.  (Jon also wanted to add that it was Missy's idea to have their first date at the Pacer game and how lucky he feels about that!) 

For Missy, she realized Jon was "the one" right away. He was the kindest person she knew and has always treated her so well.  Missy has never met anyone so kind hearted and so patient.  Jon also knew that Missy was the one right away. She made him laugh, she was so easy to talk to, and they just seemed to click from the first night going forward. Jon knew for sure when he couldn't stop thinking about her when they were apart. Jon is really marrying his best friend, and he can't be more thankful for having Missy in his life.

Missy and Jon's favorite "date nights" usually involve going to dinner and anything to do with food!  (Ha-I can definitely agree with that one!) In the summer they really enjoy grilling out and hanging out with friends.  They also love to spend time with their family.  They love sushi, but also love just going to a bar and getting some bar food and enjoying a beer!  Jon wanted to add a few thoughts, "Missy is right, we love going out to dinner and trying new places. We try and do a date night every Friday. Some of our favorite places are Coopers Hawk, Yatz, Morton's, LaHacienda, and a lot of different sushi places. You can see we'll pretty much go anywhere, ha ha!"

When it came to the proposal, Jon came to Missy's work dressed in a suit with flowers in his hand and she knew right away what was happening!  Jon had a limo waiting outside and it took them to the JW Marriott.  Jon already had all Missy's stuff packed and ready there to get ready for the night. She got ready and came out to find that he was on one knee with a ring!

They started planning their wedding shortly after the engagement and when it came to the locations, they love their church. It is gorgeous. Jon is actually the first guy Missy has dated that has the same beliefs as her.  They are both Catholic, so it was really important to get married in their church. Skyline Club was the second venue they looked at and every venue after that, they compared to Skyline Club. They love it and think it is a great location!  (I can't wait for the beautiful picture locations!!)

Missy has loved every minute of the wedding planning! Every girl dreams of getting married and planning.  She feels pretty lucky that Jon has been pretty involved, because most guys would dodge some of the wedding planning!  

On their wedding day, Jon and Missy are both looking forward to starting a new chapter of their lives together, celebrating and sharing their big day with their friends and family!
