We thought Valentine’s Day would be the perfect day to share Rose and Michael’s Houston Zoo Engagement Photos! And afterward Rose and Michael’s love for books inspired us to conclude our session at Kaboom Books.  Valentine’s day is a special day for these two because it was the day that Michael asked Rose to be his wife! Rose tells how it went down like this…

“Our first Valentine’s Day together was exceptionally romantic. We went to an amazing restaurant with amazing food, on to an amazing hotel, with champagne and roses and chocolates. The night he proposed, he tried to replicate that first Valentine’s Day date. However, everything went wrong, according to Michael! We went to the same restaurant, but the food was only okay. He wasn’t able to book the same hotel, and though he booked another very nice one, when we showed up the room wasn’t the one he wanted. There was supposed to be flowers and champagne waiting for us in the room (which weren’t there), and he had planned to propose on the rooftop garden (which was closed for construction). His proposal, in my opinion, was still perfect.

He explained that though everything he planned went wrong for the night, he still had amazing plans for our future. We talked about what the next few years will be like, and then he got down on one knee, played our song, and asked me. I have never been so happy in my life. He may have thought it went wrong, but I thought it went perfectly.”

What an amazing story on this rainy Valentines Day! We are so excited to capture Rose and Michaels wedding later this year!   But in the meanwhile, check out some of our favorites from their Houston Zoo Engagement Photos and book-inspired portraits at Kaboom Books.
