While there, Wes proposed to Liz in front of many of their close friends… and a ton of strangers. On Friday night in front of everyone at the One Show, he got down on one knee and presented a hand made engagement ring made by Silver Piston. Of course, she said yes! A true story of motorcycle romance, Wes and Liz both say it was love at first sight. While they both share a deep love of motorcycles, they’re also incredibly sweet people. I got to experience their awesomeness first hand when they attended the Quality Control show in January. They are a match made in heaven.
“British Customs (british-customs.com) invited us to come do a shoot as an engagement gift.” So they got together on Triumph motorcycles decked out with British Customs parts and did a little photoshoot in the sun on the beach. These are not the final images, but behind the scene photographs.

“Brin (brinmorris.com, IG @thedeuk) had the amazing idea for this shot and the behind the scenes shot was taken by Jun Song (nostalgia-memoir.com, IG @nostalgia_memoir) and it’s perfect!”
Liz sporting the Full Faces Are Sexy tank top- one of my favs!
Oh, you probably want to see that ring from Silver Piston (silverpiston.com), right?
