They say love can find you at any age.  Mal and Dan fell in love in high school.  Performing experiments together in Chemistry class, Mal and Dan’s chemistry grew for one another very quickly!  Graduating from Hillsborough High School, neither could imagine what the future had in store.

Seven years after they first met, Mal and Dan’s relationship was stronger than ever!  Working in film, Dan frequently introduced Mal to his favorite new shows.  When he started watching The Wire, Dan began constantly asking Mal to watch it with him.  After many “no’s” he joked with Mal that he would propose once she finished all five seasons!  Slowly, Mal and Dan made their way through season one, two, three, four, and finally, FIVE!  As the credits rolled on the last episode, Dan got down on one knee and asked Mal to be his wife!  These two high school sweethearts are getting married next fall and I couldn’t be more excited for them.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Mal and Dan at their high school and at Duke Farms. Enjoy a few of my favorite photos from our time together below!

Mal and Dan’s high school sweetheart engagement photo session was such an adorable idea!  I love this composition notebook with “Will You Marry Me?”, check yes or no written inside.

Mal and Dan are only a page apart in their high school yearbook!

The principal of Hillsborough High School was nice enough to let us in to the Chemistry classroom where Mal and Dan met so many years ago!

Meet Mal and Dan’s adorable dog Sadie!

She is such a little model.  🙂

After taking photos at Mal and Dan’s high school, we headed over to Duke Farms for a second look.

LOVE.

Mal, your ring is absolutely gorgeous!

This might be one of my favorites!

As the sun started to set, we made our way through the last field of wild flowers and back to the car.  Thank you Mal and Dan for spending the afternoon with me.  I can’t wait to watch you tie the knot next September!
