Spokane Engagement Photographer: Clint & Melissa
There are so many ways to meet people these days. Old and new, from mutual friends, to video games, to Tinder, people meet in all ways. Clint and Melissa met on Tinder. This first reaction of "oh, this person looks cute" quickly transformed into other things "oh, he seems really nice" and so forth. After trading a couple messages Clint decided to take a risk - he invited Melissa to a concert. Not exactly the traditional choice for a first date. Even more risky, he picked her up - meaning there was no way to bail if things were going badly. Melissa told me that when he first asked her, she was going to say no for those very reason. But then her sister convinced her to go for it. Turns out, it was a great idea. They went out for Mexican food, where they quickly found out that conversation flowed easily among them, and that they enjoyed each others company. Then they went to the concert (to see a band Melissa had never heard of) and had an incredible time. By the end, they both came out excited. Melissa would call her sister to tell her how it went, and Clint would be excited to go on the next date with her - to see where this would all lead.
Five or 6 dates later, things started to become more clear. These two were serious, and they both acknowledged that there was something really special about the other person. Now, they are getting married! It's going to be beautiful and unique, and I can't wait to be there! Until then, I hope you love these engagement photos, I sure enjoyed taking them. :)
