Denver Engagement: Kendall and Ryan

They are laid back. Easy going. Casual, yet sophisticated. They’ve been dating for nearly five years. Both Gonzaga graduates and champions at long distance relationships. She studied in Italy for seven months; he only visited for ten days. They’re best friends and just love to do anything… as long as it’s together. Particularly, Rockies games.

“She just brings out the best in me,” Ryan stated. “How about you, Kendall? What you do love about Ryan?” After a giggle she just responded, “I know it’s cliché — everything!”

Kendall, Ryan, and I met at Ink! coffee in Riverfront Park in Denver and from their spent the evening walking the area and laughing. Despite Ryan’s objection to “modely” photos, he ended up being a natural and didn’t even know it. And Kendall? Ain’t no thing for this girl.

Absolutely love these lines.

Kendall, you are breathtaking!

I love these guys!

Ryan pulled out the slickest moves here!

Yeah… that. He just grabbed her and they ever so gracefully swung into a kiss.

I love Kendall and Ryan not only for their adoringly sweet selves, but also because they followed my wardrobe tips to a T.

Can we talk about this killer light and these killer expressions?! Geez a loo.

Work. It.

Woo! Go Rocks!

Ryan is pretty much a champion dipper. That is all.

After some fun around Coors, we headed to one of their favorite hangouts, Falling Rock Tap Hose, where they treated me to a beer. Okay, it was actually cider. But they had beers. :-)

And things got a little sultry.

*sigh* Love love love.

Kendall and Ryan… June can’t get here fast enough! Thank you for such an awesome night and for being so wonderful to work with! Love you guys!!

So much joy to you,
René
