While visiting Portland, Kevin had the perfect opportunity to pop the question to his long time girlfriend Chanelle, and we are so honored he asked us to take part in this special day. Romantic red roses and dreamy candles lit the way for the couple and provided the most gorgeous background for Kevin to get down on one knee. We cannot wait to see what is in store next for these two!
