Sarah and Summer met at the Jackpot Saloon (now closed), in Lawrence, Kansas. That didn’t stop them from including in their engagement session, along with a long time favorite bar across the street, The Replay, to grab a drink and play on some pinball machines. After a bit of traversing around downtown Lawrence and a short bike ride, they then went to Potter’s Lake at the Kansas University campus ground to end their session. Sarah and Summer are set to tie the knot June 2019.
