Engagement Photos

There were huge koi in the pond.

Mitchell's first time in the Botanical Building! Nides was practicing with the flash

Alora demanded a silhouette photo (hipster)

Mitchell quizzed Alora on the differences between monocots and dicots (again)

Alora somehow did not notice Mitchell and Nides playing Hot Potato with the ring box

Nides's phone may be seen in the lower left corner, as she was simultaneously being a photographer and videographer (superhero)

Mitchell's foot placement was incorrect, apparently

Mitchell explaining his fear to propose, despite standing in the wedding venue Alora booked two weeks ago. Apparently, Alora is a detective and very difficult to surprise

A chronic inability to take anything seriously

The emotional laughing carried on for roughly 10 minutes

Realizing Mitchell quoted Nietzsche during the proposal (edgelord)

Realizing Mitchell is wearing Alora's cherry possum shirt

The cherry possums were intentional

Mitchell really needs to be more mindful of his lower spine

Nothing and nobody makes Alora laugh harder than Mitchell

Nides wanted to know why she was asked to take this picture. The answer remains elusive.

Obligatory close-up

According to Mitchell: "embarking on the path of life" (cornball)

Mitchell refuses to wear sunglasses (foolish)

Mitchell threw Alora's backpack and jacket into the bushes just out of frame

Triumphant exultation. On to the next part!
