April 10, 2021 was everything it was meant to be, although it was nothing like it was originally planned to be. And yet somehow, it turned out to be so much better than imagined!

I first met Cheyenne and Steven at their engagement session in June of 2020. They were so excited for their upcoming wedding on October 10, 2020. This date was chosen deliberately. They chose the 10th day of the 10th month in the year ending in 20 - 10 plus 10 equals 20. As the days went by, COVID was only getting worse and their were more and more restrictions. The two began to wonder what their perfect wedding day in October was going to look like. They eventually decided to elope to Colorado and enjoy their honeymoon while continuing to plan for a reception on April 10, 2021.

These two love are so much fun to be around! They’re definitely carefree and playful!

Where It All Began…

Cheyenne and Steven originally met at Midway High School and then later reconnected while Cheyenne was employed as a waitress at George’s in Waco. Their first date was dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Cheyenne says it was the first real date she had ever been on and definitely noticed every time Steven opened all of the doors for her, listened to her all night and even paid for dinner! He was truly a gentleman.

The two continued dating and enjoyed learning more about each other. They eventually went to the West Coast for Steven’s job and they ended up in Canada. They were staying in a beautiful hotel that was connected to a mall. There was an escape room inside the mall that they decided to enter, as they were very confident that they would be able to escape. They came very close to completing it so the attendant walked them through the rest of the room and at the very end there was a treasure box filled with lots of fake gold which surrounded a little box. As Cheyenne opened the little box, Steven hit a knee and popped the question!

Still to this day, the two love going to Grand Station to play arcade games, mini golf or games at their house. They are both incredibly carefree, adventurous and playful - all while enjoying lots of laughter!

The Party!

The two celebrated becoming one at Tucker Hall in Waco, Texas on April 10, 2021. The two were a bit nervous before the ceremony, but said they were so glad they eloped because it was so stress-free. Throughout the day the two were seen with smiles on their faces as they interacted with each other, as well as their family and friends. They are not only genuine, but incredibly kind and loving. As I captured moments of their day as the events unfolded, you could truly see those qualities shine through.
