We’re getting married!

Austin and Madie met when they were both attending Chemeketa Community College. They were chemistry lab partners and started a friendship that would last for a lifetime. Austin and Madie were friends for two years before they started dating but if you ask their friends and family, they knew from the beginning this was a pair that was made for each other.

Austin finally got away with a surprise for Madie and one that she won't forget for years to come! Madie was taking her younger sister, Kennedy, Senior pictures. After a long afternoon of walking around downtown Salem for 3 hours, Madie's sisters and mom led her to a surprise location where Austin was waiting for her. Madie's best friend Emily helped Austin set up the whole display and was there to capture the moment. Austin got down on one knee and asked Madie to marry him and of course, she said YES!
