Meet James and Natasha... the soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. Hinkson!

This happily-ever after story begins in a land far far away, Orlando Florida.

Natasha is a wedding photographer and was hired to photograph a wedding in Florida, where she met James, the groom’s handsome roommate. James and Natasha hit it off right away, but each assuming the other person lived in Florida, didn’t think it would ever go anywhere. Spoiler alert, they are engaged!!

After some extensive flirting, the two discovered they actually lived within 20 minutes of each other in Salt Lake City. At the end of the night, James used his best pickup line and asked if he could give Natasha a tip on behalf of the wedding couple by taking Natasha on a date when they both got back to Utah. Natasha happily accepted.

James followed through on giving his tip and took Natasha on their first date up American Fork Canyon with delicious steaks and hammocking. It was unmis-steak-ably the greatest tip James had ever given. It didn’t take long for these two to know there was more to this steak than meets the rib-eye. You know what they say: first comes steak, then comes marriage…

Speaking of marriage, save the date, April 28th! Exactly six months after James gave the sweetest proposal on the steps of the Provo City Center Temple with “Marry Me” lit up.
