Benita + Andrew {Engagement}

Benita + Andrew are some of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met…inside and out! They reflect each other so well and it is very clear to me that God brought them together. Can’t wait to document their wedding day!

Chloe + Christian {Engaged}

Hands down some of my favorite people on the planet to photograph! If only if they would give me more than 10 minutes every time we take pictures tho. :))) This is my youngest daughter, Chloe, and her future husband, Christian Sagum. Just a super short engagement session because it was cold, windy, and light was dropping quickly on this 28th day of December. But they obviously kept each other warm and the whole thing was very sweet. These two are having a super quick engagement and the wedding is just around the corner!

I fell in love with you because when I saw you for the first time, it was the only time that I have ever wanted to make someone a permanent part of my life, my world.” ~ David Doyle

Chloe + Christian {Engaged}

Since the Blog is my way of telling a story of what I see as beautiful and significant in the world, I wanted to put this up because my baby girl, Chloe, got engaged to her dream come true, Christian Sagum, a few moments before 11/13/2016…which is exactly one year since he asked her to be his girlfriend. They are such a match made in heaven and everyone we know is so excited for them! Grandma Lola said it best when she stated, “When it’s right, it’s right!” So IT IS! Wedding is set for a Friday in February 2017.
P.S. None of these pictures are mine. They were taken by someone else on an iPhone or I screenshot them from a video. :)
