This Joshua Tree photo session celebrates New Jersey couple Katie and Ashley’s two-year anniversary.

In 2016, Katie proposed with a custom ring at the Electric Forest Festival, a Michigan event they had previously attended together and loved.

“With the help of ‘forest nymphs,’ which were women dressed in elaborate costumes working at the festival, I got down on one knee at a flowered garden shaped like a heart that we had taken a photo at 3 years prior,” Katie explains. “She said ‘yes,’ and the rest is history!โ€

The couple married in October 2017. Two years later, the pair took these photos to celebrate being as in love as ever.
