Have you ever ran into the elevator of your building just moments after meeting someone who could potentially be the one, slammed your purse against the wall and screamed out that your in love? Sounds like a movie, right? Then consider this a Hollywood romance right from the beginning. Meet Alix and Dodd, the beautiful couple whose recent engagement was featured on YouTube and whose shoot was gorgeously captured by Kat Braman .
The two met through a mutual friend who invited them to an industry showing of a burlesque show. Engulfed in a sea of critics and industry folk, the two made the most of it and spent the evening hooting and hollering at the actors and drag queens rousing performance! After drinks and a three hour conversation in a nearby bar, Dodd dropped Alix off at her apartment (100 blocks out of his way), kissed her goodnight and took the train home. Cue the elevator scene from above. 
If you haven’t watched their proposal yet, do so. Dodd planned an elaborate event which included all of their friends and families, painted umbrellas and the High Line. While the two strolled along the park, they stopped to rest and watch what seemed to be an art exhibition taking place on the street below. Unbeknownst to Alix, her closest family and friends were hidden under umbrellas (painted to take the shape of a heart) and before she knew it, Dodd was down on one knee declaring his love for her. 
The couple chose East Hampton for their shoot because of Dodd’s childhood memories there and the memories he and Alix had made early on in their relationship. Being from Palm Beach, Alix immediately fell in love with beaches, sculpted gardens, vineyards and of course Dodd’s grandmother’s home and classic antique Rolls Royce, all of which provided beautiful backdrops for their day. 
We love the casual Hampton’s chic these two exuded in their photos. With several outfit changes including items from Banana Republic , H&M , Uniqlo , and Urban Outfitters , they looked well equipped for a weekend of wine tasting, long drives and beautiful Hampton sunsets.
