I asked what he most admires about her. “That she’s smarter than me, but never tries to prove it. She has never judged me. She will give you anything she has because things don’t matter to her.” She says his unwavering kindness is a trait that she respects in him.

They met at a football game in 2011. “My friend, Rob, introduced me to his girlfriend, Christine, who is now his wife and also happens to be Walt’s older sister. Christine had both of her brothers in tow that day.” It wasn’t until two years later that they met again at Thanksgiving when the timing of missing two trains and changed plans put them at the same dinner. “There was one empty seat next to Walt…and so it began.”

I met up with Kelly & Walt last weekend for their Iowa City engagement session. They brought along their adorable puppy, Bear, and he kind of stole the show.

Kelly has a natural grace and beauty about her that few people still possess. She’s incredibly kind, but also self-confident and relaxed. I adore this about her.
