Kalli and Madison recently took their engagement pictures in downtown Chico and at California State University, Chico. They danced and toasted to their future in the downtown streets. I first met Kalli and Madison at a birthday party for Madison’s mother, Laura. They were recently engaged, and we chatted briefly about their new engagement. You can view Laura’s birthday blog here where you will find some pictures of the newly engaged Kalli and Madison.
Madison met Kalli during her sophomore year in high school. Six years later, Kalli recognized Madison’s profile picture on Facebook and sent him a happy birthday message. Madison did not check Facebook very often, so a few days later he saw the message. He realized that Kalli had just celebrated her birthday two days before him. He replied with a happy birthday message back. When Kalli was riding home from Disneyland (not driving) she and Madison ended up messaging back-and-forth for her whole drive home. A few days later, they went out on their first date. Three months later, they moved in together. They say you know when you know and they knew.
About two years after they started dating, Madison prepared a walkway where Kalli walked by three different tables. The first table had a sign framed with the date from their first date. There were also pictures from that time period in their lives. The second table had the date that they moved in together, and there were also pictures from that era. The third table had their future wedding date! Madison met Kalli at the third table and pulled out a ring box and professed his love for Kalli. Madison got down on one knee to ask Kalli to marry him. She said yes! They have been planning their future wedding together for quite a while, and they are so excited to get married in August.
Kalli and Madison, I am so glad that our paths crossed at Laura’s birthday party last August. I had a wonderful time at your gorgeous engagement session in downtown Chico. The rose garden on the Chico State campus was the perfect location to celebrate your bright future and love! Add in a little confetti and a light rain shower to equal the perfect recipe for an unforgettable evening with you two! I enjoyed getting the opportunity to see you two interact and how strong your relationship truly is! I cannot wait for you to see some of my many favorites from your engagement session!
