Josh and Chelsea spent a good portion of their lives circling the other. They traced back years and years of relocating up and down the East Coast, only to discover that they’d been right near each other all along. As if life had a way of guiding them back towards each other over and over again. Finally, a few years ago, Chelsea’s friend introduced them. I’m paraphrasing but, “He’s pretentious, you just have to meet him” was the start of Josh and Chelsea. They hit it off immediately and have been together ever since. Years of arcade games and coffee dates and many, many books read side by side later, and Josh made it official. Under Chelsea’s favorite – twinkle lights. And with her favorite book in hand. Better yet, her favorite book with a ring box sized hole cut right in the middle!

Josh and Chelsea are the type of people who make you feel instantly comfortable. Between their little inside jokes and the way Chelsea is always laughing with Josh, it’s just easy to spend time with them. And you can tell how much they love each other from their sweet interactions. We walked around downtown Roanoke and got to hear even more about what makes them them. When Josh pulls Chelsea in, she smiles even wider. And Josh is always sweetly by her side. Taking her hand, kissing her cheek, hugging her tight. Their wedding is going to be a stunning reflection of the two of them – twinkle lights everywhere, books and words galore. In just one year, they’ll be married!

We loved our time with these two! And it’s so hard to believe that we have to wait a whole year to do it again! It was a hot day, but our time passed so quickly because of how fun Josh and Chelsea are :]
