Karen + Jeff, a Darling University of New Mexico Engagement

Engagement

Aug 23

Written By Alicia Padilla and Jaclyn Younger

Midwest lovers Jeff and Karen celebrated their engagement with a darling little evening in the middle of Albuquerque. This University of New Mexico session was truly a dream come true.

Karen and Jeff met almost an entire decade ago while they were both undergrads at The University of Norte Dame and immediately fell for one another. Jeff proposed to Karen during an unreal sunset while they were abroad in Shanghai, China.

These babes are making it official next year with an iconic day at a historic bank-turned-hotel in the middle of Iowa and we just know it’ll be incredible!

Location - The University of New Mexico
