Shane and Jamie embarked on a journey of love that began amidst the shelves of Readers World bookstore. Their first date, filled with laughter and shared glances, saw Shane playfully fake propose not once, but twice, adding a touch of whimsy to their budding romance. Continuing their adventure through the streets of Holland, they indulged in frozen yogurt, savoring the magic of the moment.

Fast forward to a pivotal moment in their journey—the long-awaited proposal. Shane, determined to create a memorable moment, returned to the bookstore where he had once playfully asked. With heartfelt sincerity, he proposed, turning their shared jest into a symbol of everlasting love. Their journey took this turn because of the recent desire to adopt their son. This solidifying their bond as a family and adding a new chapter to their story.

Amidst downtown Holland, I had the pleasure of capturing Shane and Jamie’s engagement photos. With their adorable adopted son in tow, we returned to Readers World, the very spot where Shane proposed. Along with several beautiful parks showcasing Hollands amazing tulip fields.

On top of the engagement, Shane and Jamie have another momentous occasion on the horizon—a vow renewal ceremony later in the year. While their initial ceremony was simple and intimate, this time they intend to celebrate their love with all their loved ones. It’s a chance to reaffirm their commitment to each other in front of their family and friends, surrounded by the warmth of their community. Because of this, I eagerly anticipate capturing every moment, from the exchange of vows, to the joyous celebration that follows.
