Dorothy and Matthew are BIG fans of the How To Train Your Dragon movies and wanted to have some fantasy-inspired couples photos with the feel of some of the scenes from the first movie, where Hiccup and Astrid are in the woods with Toothless. They worked with photographer Tom Ellis to create a seriously fun shoot featuring their favorite character. But shortly after booking the session, they went from just a couple to totally engaged. The engagement session was ON…
Matthew had managed to find/create a vest that looked a lot like one worn by Hiccup in one of the movies, and Dorothy had a very cool black dress with a kind of cape/veil that almost looked liked wings when she extended her arms. They hiked McCollum Park Trail in Everett, WA, making their way on a loop trail where they met their dragon friend. You'll want to see it all…

I’m smiling in a sort of “nerdy triumph.” Assuming that your article is solely based off the films and not the book series that served as inspiration, Hiccup’s partner isn’t Ariel. Her name is Astrid. ?
WHUPS! That was a straight up typo. Fixed now! Sorry to Astrid. xo, Ariel
