How they met

Lawrence and Michael met 11 years ago in Washington D.C. through a mutual friend. “We laughed, talked and danced the night away as it was PRIDE in D.C.,” says Michael. The two then began a long distance relationship until Michael decided to move to pursue a closer relationship with Lawrence. The two have since been inseparable and are now planning a wedding this fall in their favorite city, of course, Las Vegas.

How he popped the question

Lawrence even proposed in Las Vegas, too! He surprised Michael at Scarpetta Restaurant while they were dining with their close friends. Lawrence slipped a One Karat engagement ring accessorized with white and blue diamonds into Michael’s champagne flute. “Michael actually thought that the waiter brought him a dirty glass, but the ring was floating in the bottom,” says Michael. “It was a tearful and laughable moment.”

Their advice for a pet friendly engagement session

“Make sure you scout out the best photographer by checking out their portfolio,” says Michael. “Go online and check out photography that they have done for other couples. I used every resource possible to find who was best for us. Every photographer is different as far as their eye and what they capture with their camera lens.”

How they coordinated outfits

“We chose to be comfortable in our attire for the engagement session photos,” says Michael. Both Lawrence and Michael wear suits everyday for work so they opted for something a bit more casual. They also coordinated with their adorable pups by having them wear matching blue and pink doggy t-shirts.
