emily + tristan | a chic, modern waterfront engagement at dusk

The way Emily describes her favorite thing about Tristan is not only true, it’s adorable. You two have the sweetest love story and make an incredible couple — you compliment each other in every way.“Tristan is the nicest, sweetest, most likable, loving and caring person you will ever meet. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about him. Everyone loves him! It is actually kind of annoying! Haha.”We had the best Fall weather during their engagement photos along the water in Baltimore and as the sun started to set, all the light from the buildings across the harbor appeared to twinkle just for them. I can’t wait for you to enjoy these as much as I did taking them!

So glad there are no rules anymore… Emily and Tristan’s meet-cute was perfect for them! And, I love the Bluebird Cocktail Room for a first date spot: so romantic and delicious.

“Tristan and I meet November 2020 through the dating app Coffee Meets Bagel with our first date at The Bluebird Cocktail Room in Hampden. Tristan was a bit quiet, reserved and I showed up at my normal 11 on a scale of 1-10! I actually ordered an Absinthe Drip! Probably not the best idea on a first date, but it was 2020 and there were no rules anymore at that point, haha!

At the end of the date, I thought that maybe I was a bit too much for him, but he texted me later and asked to schedule a second date. We had our second date at Sally O’s and we’ve pretty much been together ever since!”

I love their proposal story, as told by Emily…

“We spent the day at the BMA and went to dinner at La Cuchara. It was a nice night out, so we went on our normal walk around the harbor when we got home. We were walking along the water by the Ritz Carlton when Tristan decided he wanted to sit down on one of the benches. I thought this was weird b/c it’s not something we normally did, but once I sat down, he turned around with the ring and proposed! I was so confused as to what was happening (I’m sure the 3 gin & tonics I had a dinner had nothing to do with that!) and just kept yelling “what is happening!” Hahaha. Tristan was actually planning to propose a couple weeks prior when we were in Cartagena, Colombia, but the ring didn’t come in time (“supply chain issues”), so the next plan was to do it in Turks & Caicos during our birthday trip at the beginning of June, but once the ring arrived, he couldn’t wait and did it in the spur of the moment. It was very sweet, but it’s also a bit blurry.”

Emily + Tristan, I can not wait to see you two married on Saturday! You’ve been patiently waiting and planning for this day for such a long time, it’s going to be your best day yet… but believe me, the best is yet to come. 😉

See you in T-4 days… here’s to ending the year with the best celebration!!!

xo,
