We can’t decide what’s taking our breath away…The way Kimberly and Suselina look at each other or how their outfits POP against the downtown Dallas cityscape. When Tara Arseven Photography shared this bright and colorful lesbian engagement shoot with us, we just couldn’t get enough of that flowing red skirt and yellow patterned dress! Oh, and wait till you see the surprise from their super sweet proposal story.

How do I tell my partner I don’t want a big proposal?

My boyfriend wants to give me an “over-the-top” proposal. I don’t know how I feel about this. I appreciate his desire to do something special but I’m not sure if I’m comfortable with the idea of a big proposal.
