Some love stories feel like they’re straight out of a movie—and Shelby and Dylan’s is one of them.


These two first crossed paths at work, where a professional connection quickly sparked into something more. At the time, Dylan was living in Georgia, but it didn’t take long for him to make the ultimate gesture—relocating to be closer to Shelby. That level of dedication set the tone for their relationship, and over the last two and a half years, they’ve built a life full of laughter, adventure, and the sweetest traditions.


Their first date was classic and fun: a night at the bowling alley. You can just imagine the playful competition, shared smiles, and that little spark turning into something more. Fast forward to January, and Dylan took things to the next level—proposing to Shelby during a dreamy getaway in Cancun! (Yes, I cried a little when they told me.)


But what makes these two truly unique is their love for surprise date days. They take turns planning special dates from start to finish, giving the other only one clue—what to wear. It’s spontaneous, thoughtful, and keeps their love story fresh and full of excitement. Before each date begins, they snap a Polaroid photo together, capturing not just the moment, but the feeling of that day.

So naturally, when it came time to plan their engagement session, we had to bring that magic along with us.


Shelby and Dylan brought a collection of their Polaroids, weaving them into the shoot in such a creative and meaningful way. From holding them in their hands to stringing them across a tree branch, the photos told the visual story of their journey so far—and served as a beautiful symbol of all the memories still to come.


Their session was filled with laughter, snuggles, and that unmistakable connection that comes from knowing someone truly sees and loves you. Whether they were wrapped up in each other's arms or sneaking a kiss behind a Polaroid frame, it was clear that Shelby and Dylan aren’t just in love—they’re best friends, partners, and the kind of couple that makes you believe in forever.

I can’t wait to see what surprise date day turns into their wedding day. 💍📸💕
