This was the only engagement shoot I did last winter. In fact, it was in January and January was cold as far as I remember. However, on that particular day, the temperature was in the 50s. Shin and Brett were so pumped up they ran around in t-shirts.

Anyway, Shin and Brett are recent University of Maryland grads. According to the couple, they met while training to be RAs (resident assistants). They started dating after a semester of rowdy residents and disappointing diner food. As silly as Brett is, he’s the calm one when Shin freaks out. When he asked her out, she freaked out and he very calmly dealt with it and coaxed her into acquiescing. Same for the proposal. They’re trying to navigate their relationship by melding their very different upbringings and points of views… this leads to lots of anguish and hilarity.
