James and Emily met during their MBA program at Texas Tech University. They worked in group projects before and definitely got along. Toward the end of their program, they looked at each other with new eyes, and decided to give dating a shot. He graduated a semester before Emily and headed back to his home in Midland. They had to make it work long distance for a year and a half before Emily headed to Midland to be with James.

James was up to sneaky tricks to surprise Emily with a proposal! The couple headed to Horseshoe Bay for some time to relax with friends on the lake. James hired a tour guide who was actually in on the proposal! Out on the lake, he asked Emily to be his wife.

Emily and James are so incredibly sweet and fun together! When I asked James to nuzzle in on Emily, he went in full force for the neck nuzzle, cracking us both up! Emily and James, I absolutely cannot wait to capture your wedding this fall!
