Photography by Kelly: Lura & Hao ~Engagement~

I have known Lura for a long time, meeting her first at church when she was young girl. When she began to look for colleges, I suggested touring my Alma mater. She did with her parents and resulted in graduating with a degree in education from the college. So now, we are fellow alumnae! Go Bears! :)

Lura met Hao (pronounced How) about two years ago. They began dating and in February of this year, he surprised her in New York City with asking the "big" question. He had already met with her parents and got their blessings. He made arrangements with someone to follow them as they walked through Central Park so the big moment could be photographed (oh how I would have loved to been there for that!).

From all of that, I knew their engagement session would be fun. Our first time out, it rained cats and dogs. So, we rescheduled. The evening we met was beautiful! The couple will be married in August. We wish them all the best and many, many years of happily wedded bliss.
