Being in the South, we love talking about athletics. So when we discovered this engagement shoot was done by two former athletes, we just had to share! Amanda and Curtis met in college and first spotted each other in the athletic training room! During this time, Curtis played college football while Amanda played tennis. They began dating in the early 2000’s and have been together ever since! For Curtis’s proposal, he wanted to take Amanda back to where they first met: the athletic training room! He had called the university ahead of time to ensure that the room would be deserted so that he could pop the question! Once inside, Curtis got down on one knee and asked Amanda to marry him.
There is something so classic and elegant about doing a black and white photo shoot! Amanda and Curtis chose their outfits to enhance the elegance by opting for Amanda’s long black dress by ASOS and Curtis’s custom black and white tuxedo. But our favorite moment was when the couple changed out of their formal clothes and change into workout gear as a homage to their beginning. The Machine Shop provided the perfect backdrop, with its natural light and floor to ceiling windows! Curtis chose a rose gold band with a pear shaped diamond as Amanda’s engagement ring and we love his choice!
This couple married at The Machine Shop in May 2018 and we wish the happy couple love and joy!
