Atlantic Beach Engagement by Common Dove Photography

Talk about breathtaking! We fell in love with this Atlantic Beach engagement session the moment we saw it. Common Dove Photography perfectly captured RuthAnne and Matt in a fun and romantic session that truly captures their joyful personalities!

From the bride-to-be: “Even though most of our friends can attest to the fact that we had always been on what Matt called our “7-year plan”, we clearly didn’t hit that mark for getting engaged. On our 10 (yes, ten!) year anniversary of being together, we went on what I thought was your typical date night. I didn’t dress up, do my hair or makeup. I didn’t suspect anything was going on. The funniest part is that I bet someone $100 that day we wouldn’t get engaged because Matt would have never been so cliché! Well, guess who was the fool that day! After eating an amazing dinner at our favorite restaurant in downtown Morehead, Red Fish, we strolled through the waterfront reading all of the past Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament winner’s names on their fountain. This is where Matt totally played it cool and gave me the surprise of my life! While joking with me that all we did was go to dinner and I had most likely expected something else, he proceeded to get down on one knee. I stood as still as a statue in complete shock as I tried to process what was happening. He had the ring in his hand and finally asked “will you marry me?” My exact response was “are you serious?!” I was so surprised and overjoyed I didn’t know what else to say, but of course, it ended with yes!”
