I don’t think anyone would be surprised if I told you that Hopeland Gardens is one of my favorite portrait locations. But Hopeland Gardens with Lindsay and Brennan? Perfection.

Lindsay and Brennan have known each other for most of their lives. They met when they were 10 years old swimming on the same swim team. Brennan always seemed to have known that Lindsay was the one for him… but Lindsay wasn’t quite sure and made sure at 11 that he knew he was firmly in the friend zone. Being the patient man that he is, Brennan decided he was just going to wait it out- fully convinced that one day Lindsay would realize what they could have. Finally at 15 Brennan found Lindsay after swim practice and asked her there and then on the pool deck to be his girlfriend. *Spoiler alert* She said yes.

They became inseparable with them both deciding on Georgia Tech for college. Over the years there relationship grew and after they graduated in 2020, they knew it was time to take the next step.

Brennan proposed in Piedmont Park on a cold January evening, and Lindsay said yes (for the 2nd time).
