Beautiful Wedding Day

It was a beautiful day. Oh wait. No, it was raining, actually POURING as I took pictures of Angelita getting ready on her big day. As Angelita was getting her hair and makeup done, the hairdresser said, "I hear its good luck to have rain on your wedding day, its a sign that your marriage will be great!"

As we ran out to the car under an umbrella, with buckets of rain pouring down, Katrina, (Angelita's sister) says, Angelita, sing that song that you always sing when you are going to weddings! Today is YOUR wedding!!!

Goin to the chapel, was the song of choice. As we all piled in the car we sang and sang as the rain kept coming down. We prayed, Lord please help the rain to stop!

And than, a miracle! Right as we reached Bethesda, the place for the ceremony the rain stopped and the sun came out! It was, at last a beautiful day.

A perfect day to marry your best friend, the love of your life.

Engagement Session

"Our relationship is like a rollercoaster!" Direct quote from the bride to be, Ms. Angelita Harder :)



You see, I have had an up close view of this couple's relationship since they first started going out, two years ago! Angelita is in my small group at church, and we spent many counseling sessions with her, when she wasn't quite sure whether she liked Ian. They actually broke it off for a while, to see what they should do about the relationship, and whether it should be broken off for good. I remember Angelita crying that night to us girls, saying she missed Ian, and how hard it was that they were taking a break. Now, if that's not a sign that you are falling in love, I don't know what is. I spoke my mind that night(what else is new), and told Angelita she was crazy to think that she didn't have feelings for him, and yet was crying that they couldn't communicate!

The poor boy was smitten with her, and thank God he kept pursuing her! They ended up getting back together, SURPRISE!

Now, tonight as I post this Angelita is a completely different person around Ian. They are so in love, and the chemistry was flying through the roof in our session ;)

Hope you guys enjoy this mini engagement shoot.

Can't wait to shoot your wedding in two weeks!
