Old Hollywood Glamour Engagement Session in The Bahamas: Pamela + Ryan

Pamela and Ryan we’re connected by their Godson and originally met through mutual friends at his christening. After a whirlwind courtship, last year Ryan gifted Pamela with what every girl deems is her best friend and what every girl in love dreams of receiving on her birthday – a diamond ring.

“It was a total surprise as I did not expect it. Knowing that I would want my family, as well as friends, there he made it where they all came at a certain point in the dinner. He then got on one knee, in the front of my family and friends and asked me to be his wife” shares Pamela.

Now, this gorgeous couple scheduled to wed this fall, are sharing their Old Hollywood Glamour themed engagement session, shot at the luxurious Old Fort Bay Club House in The Bahamas.  Scroll on for more of their haute-glam images captured by Scharad Lightbourne of PictureBox Weddings and read their love story below.

Describe your engagement session! Did you have a theme?
Our Engagement session was well planned out in going with our theme for the wedding “A Glamorous Romance” we decided on doing a old Hollywood inspired e-session. It was filled with glitz and glamour. I felt like a movie star just for a day. Our photographer was fully on board with the theme and just as excited as we were. The location was also perfect at the Exclusive Old Fort Bay Club house. The session was a complete dream come true.

What did you do on your first date?
We went to one of my favorite Chinese restaurant on the island East Villa.
