JE Hedges Photo Booth had the wonderful opportunity to be there for Mike Badger and Jessica Clifton’s engagement party this past Saturday, January 14th. The RiverMill was breathtaking adorned in lights and feathers! Their engagement story is one comparable to those in the movies! The groom, Mike Badger, is a talented graphic artist. He wrote & illustrated a lovely book entitled “Badger the Bear” as a way of proposing to his bride-to-be, Jessica Clifton. One night, after Jessica arrived home, she found the book which had been left for her as a gift. At that moment, Jessica read all about a bear named “Badger” who flew a plane (named Jesse) through some dreadful weather. Jessica was thrilled to see the couple’s dogs appear as some of the characters in the book. In the story, Badger faces adversity, but overcomes it, just to make a special delivery! In order to find out the story’s ending, Jessica was instructed to open her front door. On the doorstep stood Mike, dressed as a human bear mascot, holding an engagement ring! The creativity and imagination inspired in this proposal / love story gives one goose bumps all over! JE Hedges Photography LOVES magical love stories like this one! The couple’s engagement party décor encompassed a human bear mascot, as a reminder of the magical moment that Mike proposed. The couple will have this book, for years to come, as a keepsake to share with family and friends. It was a wonderful experience to witness this couple’s love and see the excitement of their families as they unite as one.
