Brandon and Courtney get engaged!

Even though I'm an ASU grad (twice) and a Sun Devil to the core I had to move to Tucson (land of the UofA Wildcats) when my husband received an amazing job offer we couldn't pass up. Upon moving here my hubby made some quick friends from work and one of them happened to be our now really good buddy Brandon. Over the past almost two years now that we have lived here one of the things my husband and I always look forward to are the times we get to spend with Brandon and not have to worry about work.

Well recently Brandon's time had to be shared because he met a great girl named Courtney and it just so happens that we go to the same church! (small world I know) After meeting her my hubby and I would often make comments that they are really good together and would even enjoy the double dates we got to have together. (We knew this girl was special and were hoping Brandon wouldn't let this one slip through his fingers)

Anywho, their relationship progressed and about two months ago Brandon sent me a text asking if I still took photos and would be willing to photograph the moment he proposed to Courtney. I of course said yes and frantically begged for a day off work so we could plan it and make sure it was super special for Court.

So the big day arrived and we were going to go "hiking" with our dogs and I was going to "take pics of the dogs and post it on my blog." (she bought it, although she wasn't very excited about going hiking haha).

So the following pictures are a compilation of her special moments and then we were blessed with an AMAZING sunset and took some pics of that too. :)

Mitzi of corse was oblivious and had no idea what was going on I had a hard time making her stay near by when there was so much area to explore!

At this point I did the whole "hey guys want to get a picture together??!?!!" (this was the cure for Brandon to pop the question)

I Just LOVE the following play by play of the proposal (notice the little puppy checking out the ring hehe)

SHE SAID YES!!! 

 Then as the sun started to set we thought we would try and get some of that beautiful background that I really only people can capture in Arizona :) 

I really wish I had taken an upclose pic of the ring because Brandon did a GOOD JOB let me tell you!

And as the sun finally finished its decent we took this last pic and I really think it turned out wonderful and I really hope these two the best as they start a brand new chapter in their lives :)  

CONGRATS COURTNEY AND BRANDON!!
