Oh, Kristin and Billy, if every couple were as happy as you two, the world would be filled with far more smiles.

I’ve known Kristin for years — since I was in elementary school. When we met, and she was the sophisticated seventh grade student to my lowly fourth grader, I was in awe of her glossy dark curls. Fifteen years later, her curls are as gorgeous as ever. And her laughter has gotten even more infectious. I think it’s clear that Billy — who admitted to having a crush on her as far back as middle school — has made her happier than ever, and it’s just as clear that Billy can’t be anything but happy when he looks at Kristin.

They’re getting married this December with a Tavern and Chapel In the Garden wedding. But a few weeks ago we met up for the warm up, an engagement session along the riverbanks they love to stroll together, on an almost-stormy evening that was absolutely beautiful, and the perfect backdrop for the soon-to-be-weds.It goes without saying that Kristin and Billy looked incredibly giddy-in-love — but this needs to be said: Kristin, you looked fantastic!I loved the thoughtful details and styling Kristin put into their wardrobes — especially her broaches and Billy’s fun tuxedo tee shirt.

Oh, and hello, preppy pink Louboutins!
Are you getting an idea of the amount of fun these two have together?!A quick outfit change, and we were back to the riverbanks.Gorgeous ring, Kristin — and well done, Billy!Looking good, Billy.These next two absolutely make my heart sing — the first because of the comfortable way Billy’s arm rests across Kristin’s shoulders. You can just tell it belongs there. And the second because of the way he makes her glow.Want to see more? Check out Kristin and Billy’s slideshow below.

Kristin and Billy, thank you so much for spending this wonderful evening with us — and for being so in love with each other. We’re so excited at the thought of what the future holds for you two, and we cannot wait for your wedding!
