We met in 2013. Nate was "that Sunday night bartender" and Shelby became "that hostess." We were both in relationships at the time that we met! We became fast friends and just talked about our lives and got to know one another! Shelby was actually his house and pet sitter when he went out of town with his girlfriend! Soon after, we were both single and yet- still just stayed friends. Every week we would end our shifts on Sundays and meet up at the local Buffalo Wild Wings with friends! Not too long after- it was just the two of us that would continue to meet up week after week. We were best friends for a long time- until we decided we wanted to try it out as a couple! And a month later we started living together. We have been inseparable ever since!

We found out we were expecting a baby in August 2018. In September we set up a shoot with brother Charlie to announce our little one! Nate surprised Shelby by proposing and we were able to have wonderful baby announcement / proposal photos taken that day! Turns out: Nate had been planning to propose that week all along- even before we knew about baby! He had been planning for months! We had a vacation booked that week that we ended up canceling because of our little bump.
