Seeeeeee!!!




Okay, I'm officially a giddy school-girl. It's been a while and lots of guy-drama since I've last been on here. NO this is not an April-fools joke (since it's July... oh, and I have the pics to prove it!! hehe).

While this spring was nothing short of me feeling like I was the star of the Batchelorette (and no it's NOT fun!!)... I finally found my prince charmin' and we celebrated our 1-year-anny last night...

...and here's what I got: Adorable Hello Kitty candy bracelets when he came to pick me up... and then a diamond engagement ring when he dropped me off Of course I'll wear both with pride and joy!




There were so many perfect details to the evening/proposal... naturally, I spent this morning photographing them in daylight










Oh yes... the point-and-shoot-pics of us being silly on vacation this past January....





I put the whole story and more pics on my BLOG if you want the juicy details. My friend Kimberly took me to dinner tonight and showed me more behind-the-scenes stuff too (she was in on it!!) and I can't wait to get that from her to share

Aww someone pinch me please!! ) )

~ the lucky gal who's soon to no longer be a double-L

CONGRATULATIONS!! That is so great for you. Marriage is so wonderful! And I am so glad you had an awesome proposal! Guys who get that detail are worth it all!!!

Candice

Congrats! Romance is sooo fun! Glad he got all the details down that's the good stuff! And how beautiful is that ring!

Congratulations Liana That is so exciting for you guys.

Hey Lovey!

I want to hear the details Missy. How did he propose?!

I'm really sooo excited for you!

Now you are just going to have to finish Baby Got Back with the Mr. Lehman as your first dance together!

Thank you!!! I honestly think (maybe because I've been in the industry for so long) I'm more excited about stuff like the pre-marital counseling / training stuff than even the wedding planning right now. Weird I know!! I'm sure I'll get the psycho-planning stage soon though LOL. Oh, here's some ones I missed on the first go-round. (From shooting a wedding in Greece last summer)





Hahahah that would be SOOOOO great KK!!! Will you help me choreograph it!??? (He's a long-lens lover too so he MAY just agree to it!!!) Thank you for the texts today honeeeey!! Miss u!!!

Aw! Congratulations!!!!! It's so cute that all night you kept wondering when it was coming.

Congratulations!!! Your ring is gorgeous!

I had to check to make sure it wasn't April Fool's Day again...

Congrats Liana! Good luck with all the planning.

Congrats Liana!!! SOOO SOOO excited for you!

A or B?

YAY!

DJ, I asked the same question, but realized pretty soon it was A!

congrats, liana!

much happiness

That's awesome! And I love that your ring looks so different from the side than it does from the top....very unique.

I think it's cool that you are enjoying the counseling so much....it's fun REALLY getting to know each other. So soak it up and revel in it....the other stuff will come before you know it.

And when I read he prayed with you when he proposed.... That's a SPECIAL man, girl! Congratulations.

congrats to you!! I guess the big question is.. who's photographing the wedding teehee. Gorgeous ring! You guys are adorable together.

CONGRATULATIONS, LIANA!!!! Gorgeous ring and fiance!

Congratulations! Break out the bubbly!

A is the one!!! Yeah, I think so too (re: the ring, him being SPECIAL, etc) Thank you all so much !!NOOO idea!! It's likely going to be next March or April and a VERY very good chance it will be a destination wedding ... other than that I know very little right now Hey any advice on great (ahem picture perfect gorgeous) locations would be much appreciated!! I've seen quite a few but somehow don't want to get married where I've worked before....

Congrats!!!!!!!!! The photos look amazing.

Congrats!! I absolutely love the ring, especially the detailing on the band. Amazing.

congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! that is a GORGEOUS ring and I absolutely love all the photos you took!!

Congrats! Destination weddings are the way to go!

My friend Frances Marrron's in-laws own this place in Fiji and it is one of the top places there... only 12 little bungalos, so I imagine it would be amazingly private... congratulations, too! hooray!! (here is Frances' site )

Congrats! the rings a masterpiece!

wish you both every blessing together

Congratulations!! How wonderful for you!
Looks like he did it right!

HUGE Congrats!!

Congratulations!!!

Congrats!!!!

Congratulations!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Liana! Can't wait to see the ring in person in December!

Thank you SOOOOO much everyone. Boy is it weird being on the OTHER side of all this. I really do have a new respect for what my clients are dealing with... I thought I knew before but there's so much more to deal with than I ever imagined!!




Thanks Joy for the awesome recs!!! OHHHH I'm soooo up for checking out that place in Fiji!! We actually do have the opportunity to go out that way and were tentatively planning time enough to go out there

Congrats Liana! I am so so so happy for you! The proposal looked so perfect! I do have to say the ring is smashing, as well! Wow! (I think the pre-marital counseling stuff is FUN! Enjoy it, it goes by way to fast and next thing you know it's 7 years later and you have two kids! Hee Hee!!!)

Hey Liana! Such great news!! Yeah, I had to check on the date to like other folks mentioned, not another April Fools thing...... ha ha ha!

So you said that you were looking for some places to either get married or go on a honeymoon?? My wife and I went to Maroma, Mexico for our honeymoon and it is the closest thing that I have found to "heaven on earth". Just incredible!! Heck, after we stayed there, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes went there on their honeymoon! ha ha! Bunch of copycats! Even Tony Blair (from England) stayed there. Need to check it out!
Heaven on Earth

Hey, any time to come out to OSP South in Charleston this year???

Congratulations!

YAYYYY!!!!
That is fantastic news!!

We know you'll have a BLAST planning your wedding!

Thank you Beth (and for the great advice too!!) Kids!? Hehe. It's hard enough to imagine being married.... married with Kids is WAAAY out there!! LOLOhhhhh thanks for the rec!! I THINK we've finally landed on a spot It's surprisingly NOT as far as one would imagine (for me being a destination photog that is!!) But I'm ALWAYS looking for new amazing places to go. It shall go on the list for sure I actually don't know much about OSP S at all this year but have a pretty heavy travel schedule already. Gosh I can't believe how big these things have gotten over the past 3 years!! Amazing!

Big heartfelt congratulations, Liana. May the best of your past be the worst of your future together.
