Karin and Forrest are “that couple” to me. The couple that I wish was engaged for 3 years so I could hang out with them! The couple that trusts me with every step of the planning. The couple that focuses on their love for one another, and are able to let everything go and have a great time! But, sadly for me, Karin and Forrest were engaged for only 5 months! That’s the same length of time that I was engaged, so when they came to me, the week after their engagement, looking for guidance, direction and a short engagement, I knew we had a busy holiday season ahead!Finally, yesterday, we saw all of our hard work pay off! There are TONS of pictures from this event, so I’m going to keep the writing short and simple. From now on, enjoy the images and let a picture be worth a thousand words. You’ll get to see and experience the love of Karin and Forrest the way I have for the past half a year:img_2943.jpgimg_2952.jpgFlorals by the FAB Treasured Petal.

SO, stay tuned for the reception!!!
