Beth and her fiance Dan are gracing the blog today along side their cute as can be pup. These sweet photos by Anna Schmidt capture them and their love story so beautifully. Here are some of my favorites from their Bayside engagement shoot, enjoy friends!

From the bride: 

“Dan and I have been together for 4.5 years, but we have actually known each other since 10th grade, when we were assigned seats next to each other in math class. Apparently we both had crushes on each other then, but since we were in different “groups” in high school, neither of us told each other, so instead we flirted innocently while playing Tetris on the TI-83 and that was about it. He went into the Army after high school, I went into college and did that route, and our paths didn’t end up crossing again until we were in our late 20s, while he was on R&R from his tour in Afghanistan. We ran into each other at Pusser’s, confessed our high school crushing to each other, and he took me out on a date a few days later. He went back to Afghanistan the week after that, but we kept in touch. When he moved back to the states permanently in April 2011, he took me to an O’s game that weekend, and we’ve been inseparable ever since! I’m a high school English teacher (Annapolis High School), and Dan is now a government contractor for Booz Allen Hamilton after having been in the Army for ten years. We have a sweet fluff-ball mutt named JD that we love with all our hearts (as you can see we dragged him to our photo shoot), and we also live in, and love, Annapolis!”
