They met at a wedding in a garden. They were engaged in the same garden. Their engagement session was shot near Phipps Conservatory, and their wedding ceremony will be an outdoor ceremony in upstate New York. They’ve got an easy-going vibe between the two of them, that just fits with the garden theme of their relationship.
They’ve city jumped, from Chicago to Cleveland and now to Pittsburgh where Dennis is completing his graduate coursework. Emily comes with him, because she loves him. Together they city jump together and enjoy the journey.
They move between the cities, but they always end up in a garden. I think that, in itself, is a beautiful story.


We weren’t sure exactly what these flowers were, but they smelled amazing!

They are SO cute.


Divine fall light.

They’re good at getting each other to laugh too!


This is my personal favorite.


Thanks so much, Emily & Dennis. It was wonderful to meet you and work with you! Enjoy Pittsburgh too 🙂
Thanks Leeann! Can’t wait to see all the rest! It was great to meet you!!
Very cute and loving, I love it cause they’re cute and the cutest thing is love.
Also, crisp shirt on Dennis, lookin goood. Emily you look beautiful, I think you make Dennis look happier/better too.
Photography is great, very clean and it captures their love, very nice.
Here’s the thing: I’ve known Emily for years, and I mean years. Heck we share the same name, and you know how that is–its the first day of 4th grade, the teacher is calling role, and boom, there is another girl with your same name. Right then and there, when your eyes meet hers, a decision is made: this is either my best friend for life, or my enemy.
Fate had ‘best friends for life’ in mind for us, and when I see these pictures from Leeann (which are amazing, by the way–SO colorful) I have to admit I am 50% jealous. Emily has a new best friend, and its obvious–just as obvious as it was to them when they first met in that garden, not too long ago. But the other 60% of me (that’s right, I’m a full 110% of fun) is so happy. SO happy. Tears. Because I’ve met Dennis, and now I have another best friend. From his cute little haircut that he points in the front like a modern day Robin Hood, to his crooked button nose (I know there is a story in there…TELL US Dennis!!!), he just makes you feel…comfortable. Safe. And I know his Maid Marion feels the same way.
Leeann, you are capturing what I am feeling!!!
Kisses,
EDoe!
@Emily Doe My friends and I agreed: Sweetest comment ever!
– Leeann
Great picutes! You two are so cute!!!
“So”, what a great looking couple! Fog and Mog are so happy to have Emily join the King family. We also welcome the entire Bayer family, led by Mob and Fob!
Back to the point at hand, we can’t pick a favorite picture. Having been on the CMU campus recently, you picked a great venue!
Your love for each other is evident throughout the album.
Leeann – super photography!
Can’t wait for more.
