Salt Lake City Hogle Zoo Engagements: April + Jeremy

It seemed appropriate that he should bring her back to the zoo that day, to the place where it all began…

The first time April and Jeremy went to the zoo together, something clicked. They just connected. Like pieces of a puzzle snapping into place. They laughed at the monkeys, enjoyed the elephants, and decided the giraffes were their favorite. In fact, they had such a good time, they decided to get season passes so they could go whenever they wanted. And as they continued to date, more of the puzzle pieces fell snugly into place. Over dinners and drinks, movie dates and vacations, and of course, the zoo, they began to realize that their lives fit together quite perfectly.

So on that day, Jeremy asked April to meet him at the zoo after work. They walked hand in hand for bit, until he found the spot he was looking for. Then, in front of their favorite giraffes, he got down on his knee and asked April to be his wife.

And there they started to live out their happily ever after, at the place where it all began.

Engaged: April & Jeremy

For their engagement session, we obviously had to take some pictures at the zoo! Unfortunately, when we went there was a lot of construction happening around the zoo to get ready for the summer, so we weren’t able to get many with animals. But we definitely made sure to grab some with the giraffes ;) April and Jeremy, thank you so much for such a fun evening at the zoo!!! I absolutely adore you guys and I had such a great time photographing the love you share. And April, you totally rock for hiking all over that hill in your heels!! ;) Can’t wait for your wedding in September! XO
