Congrats to my lovely couple on their engagement!!!  Yaaaayyyy!!!  We made it through the 100 degree weather!! Yikes remind me to NEVER schedule a shoot in the smack middle of the day.  This heat can kill ya.  Sheesh.  Lots of squinty eyes and wiping of the foreheads but totally worth it.  So much fun!!!

They have known each other since they were kids.  Same elementary school.  Same circle of friends.  It wasn’t intended for them to be together back then.  They both grew up, got married, had kids, lived their own separate lives, as it should have been.  They needed to experience what life was.  They now know how life should be.  With each other.  They met up about a year ago each going through a divorce.  Both leaning on each other as friends.  No romance involved.  They were just two people merely looking for support from someone going through the same hurt, the same pain, someone to understand everything that was crushing their world.  Their friendship grew like a wild fire.  They depended on each other more and more as the days, months flew by.  He became her best friend.  She needed him.  They talked everyday on the phone, they saw more and more of each other on the weekends.  Next thing you know she began having feelings for her best friend.  He did things for her that no other man has ever done.  He listened to her.  Like, really listened to her when she talked about her dreams, her goals, her hobbies.  He supported her 100%.  For instance  she graduated from her medical school and mentioned in passing how she wanted to go to San Diego and hang out by the beach to reward herself for all the hard work and goal that was finally completed.  And guess what.  He looked into taking her there.  And he did.  She never expected him to do so, she just mentioned that this was something she always dreamed of doing but never got the chance to do.  This is when she knew.  This is the man for me.  He hears me out.  Wow.  What an amazing feeling.  Josie and Raul, I wish you the best in life.  You deserve to find true happiness.  You deserve each other.  Continue to make each other smile.  Continue to love like you have never lost.  Continue to make this marriage everything that it should be.  Thank you for allowing me to be a HUGE part of it.  I so enjoy documenting it and showing it to the world. xoxo.
