Engaged couple recreates the Obama's most romantic photos for their shoot

Barack and Michelle have proven time and again that they're the epitome of #RelationshipGoals, but the former POTUS and FLOTUS's love inspired one newly engaged couple so much they decided to reenact the Obama's most adorable moments.

With the help of Cleveland wedding photographer Natasha Herbert and event planner Covesa Gragg, fiancés Cassi and Adam were able to honor the former first family's love by recreating some of their most memorable White House photos for their engagement shoot.

And oh my word, our nostalgic hearts can barely handle the perfection.

"When our Bride and Groom said 'Can we try and duplicate one of their famous shots for our engagement pics?' I was like let's do an entire shoot..." Gragg told Essence about how the vision came about.

Herbert shared a few of the stunning shots on Instagram and the likeness is truly awe-inspiring.

Have a look at the on-point recreations of shots from Barack and Michelle before the March 2009 National Newspaper Publishers Association reception, while taping the 2015 World Expo in the White House Diplomatic Reception Room, and of course, their Essence cover from Oct. 2016.

Sure the Obamas may not be in the White House anymore, but it sure as hell feels like their love will never be forgotten.
