Truth time: Sometimes we get these engagement sessions and straight-up envy the charmed Instagram-worthy lives the couples seem to live. And Kaitlin and Allan’s shots could do just that. But....
Though they had many friends and interests in common, Shelley, a financial advisor, and William, a JetBlue pilot, didn’t meet until their first date, when they realized how often their paths had crossed. Exactly one year later, William proposed on the beach at Shelley’s family’s river home in Gloucester, Virginia. The two were married at the French Hugenot Church by the bride’s mother’s fiancé, Reverend Phil Bryant, before a reception at 44 Queen and an after party at the Dewberry Hotel. They now reside in Mount Pleasant.
