Jesse & Rosa are one of the most amazing couples that I have ever worked with. They are fun and sophisticated, soft spoken and elegant, easy going and kind and most importantly- madly in love with each other. When they first met, Rosa was unaware of the fact that Jesse was "courting" her. Yes, Jesse used the word courting- who said chivalry was dead?? In the end, Jesse told Rosa how he felt about her and here they are planning a wedding together.
Part of being a photographer is being able to see beauty in places that would otherwise be dicounted as "ugly" or "unusable". I am so blessed to work with couples who trust my instincts and allow me to be creative. At first glance these weeds that we shot in looked dead & ugly. But through my lens, I saw romance and beauty. I saw a secret getaway in the middle of nowhere where these two could run off to and steal some quiet moments together.
Another thing amoung my list of many things that I loved about these two was their creativity. They decided to bring a change of clothes and shoot some portraits inside of the estate that they are getting married in. I was literally bubbling over with excitement when I saw them all dressed up. They looked GREAT and matched with the setting it was like all of the stars were lining up in my favor.
Hands down this is my favorite shot of the day. The way Rosa looks at Jesse with adoring eyes, full of trust and admiration is special. And the way Jesse looks at Rosa screams...this woman is priceless and she's mine. He treasures her. I always say, I love capturing LOVE it warms me up inside. It's selfish in a way. Yes, these portraits are for my couples but out of serving them in the way GOD gave me talent- I get BLESSED. I dare to even say MORE than the couples that I serve because it happens over and over again.
Jesse...Rosa...THANK YOU so much for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day and for blessing me in ways that I can't even begin to explain. You two are such a beautiful couple and I am SO happy for you. Congrats!
