Kevin and Mary


Kevin and I met a few years ago at a friend's BBQ. We hit it off very well from the beginning, but we both were simply looking for a friend and nothing more. As time passed by, I got to know Kevin a little better and became very interested in him, but it wasn't until December of 2010 that we started officially dating. In October of 2011 we gathered at a family dinner, his parents all the way from Turkey and mine, where he began to give a speech. I lost my older brother back in April of last year, and this was one of the first times I got to see my parents smiling again. During Kevin's speech he mentioned how we met, and how he knew from day one that our connection was deeper than he could ever imagine, and next thing you know he got down on one knee. This was the best feeling I have ever had in one single moment in my life. I am so deeply in love with him, for him to propose meant the world to me, as I knew at that moment the feelings he had for me were mutual. Kevin and I have come a long way in our relationship, and we both compliment each other in every way possible. Kevin is a 33 year-old from Turkish background, and I am a 24 year-old girl from a Venezuelan/Italian background; so it is a perfect combination of different cultures and ages, bringing the best in each other. If I believe in love, and a soul mate, and a perfect match, it is because of him and I.

Marcus and Yahaira

Marcus and I met in our church, Iglesia forest city. We were best friends for about a year and a half. He was 12 and I was 14 :)
This friendship grew to liking each other, although he was younger than me, it didn’t matter. We gave it a shot; we dated for 4 years then broke up for a year and a half. We couldn’t picture ourselves with anyone else so we tried again. Here we are, together total of six years going on seven and couldn’t be any happier

The engagement:
February 4, 2012
Couldn’t have been anymore perfect! I been praying to God, asking him when will he finally ask me to marry him!! It seemed like an eternity. Then the day I least expected it, I walked in to my house with my best friend to rose pedals on the floor with red candles making a path way to my back porch. As I walked in the song “A hundred more years” by Franshesca Battestelli was playing, and it was the perfect song! Each family member of ours handed me a rose and the path ended with my father giving me the last one. As I kept walking there was a mirror, and on that mirror was a note that read: “this is an image I want you to remember for the rest of your life” I flipped the mirror over and there he was. It was perfect, the approval of both sides of the family and the blessing from our pastor. It was the best day of my life!


The Wedding:
My vision of this wedding, I have so much to still think about! Favorite color is blue, I see a nice light blue as my main color, with silver, with blue flowers.. spring-ish there’s still a lot I have to decide on..

Winning this free session will mean the world to me! Marcus and I have always been hard workers in our family, and are always there when anyone needs anything. We are never the ones to ask for anything, or anything in return. And having this would be a blessing, my parents are barely making with money, my father has been laid off for about a year now, and they are trying to give us the best they can. And like I said earlier we never were the ones to ask our parents for anything, if we wanted something we worked hard to earn it. And having someone there to capture the best day of our lives FINALLY together, would mean the world to both of us…

First Look

There's something about the moment when the groom sees his bride for the first time. Sometimes you see the pure joy, or delight, others you see the humility and know this man is going to treasure his bride. No matter what the expression, it's one of my favorites of the big day and I am fortunate enough to have the best seat in the house as a photographer. I love that Josh is not afraid to share some emotion. That says a lot about who he will be as a husband (and father).
