Just Engaged: Alicia and Lance

Just Engaged: Alicia and Lance
By · July 30, 2012October 28, 2020

Work It!

Alicia and Lance discovered love was just around the corner when they met on the elevator at their job. Three years later he asked her to be his wife high above the Atlanta skyline during a romantic dinner date. This fall they plan to tie the knot, but in the meantime they returned to where their love story began — at work! — to shoot these amazing photos.

You Bring Me Up

Alicia and Lance happily returned to the elevator where they first met to relive the memories for the camera. They plan to marry this October on a rooftop in downtown Atlanta, GA.

My Sweet Thing

“Lance always does sweet things for me,” says Alicia. “One time he created a collage highlighting items from our initial dates. He had pictures, movie stubs, a leaf he picked up from our first date at the park, and even a rock from Jamaica that he picked up during our first vacation together. It was indeed one of the sweetest and most loving things that anybody has ever done for me.”

We’ve Got Something In Common
