Our Engagement Story

March 13, 2010

Jonathan and I got engaged on March 13th, 2005. At the time we lived in different states. Jonathan was living in Florida and I was living in Texas. We knew very shortly after we met in November 2004 that we were meant to be together forever. We talked about marriage. We looked at rings (I wanted a band-something very simple and understated.) We knew we were going to elope (or have a ceremony in a park with cupcakes!) Jonathan came to visit during the second week in March. My parents drove down from Frisco to be with us for the weekend. That Sunday, AFTER my parents had left…Jonathan proposed (needless to say my Mom wasn’t thrilled that he waited until after they left, but he said he wanted it to be our moment and to be able to share it with Cody.) Jonathan left a few days later to go back to Florida and we didn’t see each other again until we landed in Vegas to get married (watch for that post on April 27th!) So…we didn’t have any engagement pictures taken, but I do have a few shots from the weekend we were engaged (a weekend I will never forget!)

BONUS SHOT…this is Jonathan back in FL taking a picture of what he is going to wear when we got married (with some type of mock tie!)

Linda is a fellow photographer. Her and I have worked together behind the camera shooting several weddings and she shot a few promo shots of me for my website, but this was the first time Linda and I worked together where she was in front of the camera and I was behind-and we had a GREAT time! Linda and her fiance Angel are getting married next month and I was honored when Linda asked me to shoot their wedding. We met up last weekend to take their engagement pictures and had a blast exploring downtown. Surprisingly I had not really explored downtown too much except for the Lake Eola and Thornton Park area. We found so many different places and I am ready to go back and explore some more! Angel was so fun to work with-you can tell he lives with a photographer-he knew where to stand, how to pose and where to look and just what to do in general (sure made my job easy!) I had a lot of favorites…here are just a few.

Karen is a really good friend of mine and I was so honored when she asked me to take her engagement photos. Karen had been dating Anthony for a few years and was truly hoping to be engaged to him by the end of 2008, but Anthony lead her to believe that was not going to happen (sneaky Anthony!) As you guessed, Anthony proposed to Karen on Christmas and they will be getting married on April 10, 2010. Karen and Anthony are two very special people and I am looking forward to their wedding next year-it will be classy, elegant, fun, dreamy and an extraordinary day. Here are a few shots of their engagement session.
