Kristen and Louie’s love story began in the summer of 2015, when the two gum lovers found each other through online dating platform. On their first date at a café, Louie surprised Kristen with a pack of her favorite gum, strawberry Bubblicious. It was soon clear to them that something special had sparked, as they felt a strong connection with each other ever since their second date. Soon they started dating and six years later, they got engaged!
Kristen and Louie moved into their first home together in August 2021. Louie planned his proposal on their first night there, which was also the six-year anniversary of their first date. That evening, he asked Kristen out for dinner at a restaurant near their new place. Although this had initially made Kristen suspicious, Louie brushed away her sharp intuition by insisting the ring wasn’t ready yet. In reality, he had the evening all planned out! On a romantic post-dinner walk to the lake, in full view of the city’s beautiful skyline, he proposed. To top off the already magical night, when the happy couple returned to the house, Kristen’s parents and godparents launched a surprise celebration for them with champagne.
Kristen and Louie are a committed, fun, loving couple who share many delightful hobbies. They love British mystery shows and trivia games, as well as cooking and baking together. They enjoy walks near the lake and visits to small towns, which explains the couple’s choice of location for this engagement shoot! Ward Island is not only Kristen’s favorite island, but also a place filled with fond memories of the couple.
Thank you for bringing us along to the island that means so much to you. We had so much fun capturing the sweet moments of this absolutely adorable couple! You can almost see their joy oozing out of these photos. The way they looked at each other, their laugh, the pure bliss they basked in, filled the air with bubbly sweetness like a strawberry Bubblicious. We are sure that their love will only grow sweeter in the years to come. We are so happy for you, Kristen and Louie, and we can’t wait to join you on your wedding day!
