G + J “ENGAGED!”

I love when couples get engaged but this one is extra special! I have known Jeremy (the groom to be) since 4th grade! I won’t say how many years ago, but let me tell you it’s “many” years! I remember moving here in 4th grade and my mom sending me to school with only two more weeks to go before summer break. I didn’t want to go as this was my 4th school change in one year due to my dad getting transferred from his job. There were two boys in my class that I will never forget, Jeremy being one of them. Those two boys wouldn’t stop picking on me and teasing me because of my cool “red” painter pants that I wore on the first day. (Pockets galore!) I remember him saying, “What do you think you’re going to be someday, a painter or an artist?” Well Jeremy….you guessed that one right! Jeremy is so fun and has been an amazing friend growing up. All of those fun “KANG” days, the fun nights going to play bingo, and I of course had to have every color there was on the dobbers! Working with Jeremy after college and all of those great days, love his family, and he is just someone you always want to be around. Little did I know in 4th grade that one day I would get chosen to photograph his biggest day ever!

Now a little bit about the couple:

Gyna is from Venezuela and is so adorable, and has the most adorable personality. These two couldn’t be more perfect for each other! We headed downtown for an urban feel for the photos and had a blast. The lighting was perfect, and all I could do is smile “behind” the camera the whole time when I photographed these two lovebirds.

Jeremy and Gyna met in summer 2009 thru some mutual friends. They found their paths crossing more and more each week and then started dating shortly after the summer. They enjoy playing tennis, rollerblading, snowboarding, traveling, having movie date nights, and are big HAWKS fans.

The day of their engagement, even the night prior, Jeremy was acting very strange. They had decided to take the ferry to Bainbridge Island. Before they could leave for the ferry he said he needed to wait for a package that was being delivered. Gyna later found out that the infamous package was her engagement ring!

It was raining cats and dogs all day in Bainbridge Island. They did the usual walk through the stores and had an amazing lunch on the island waterfront. On the ferry back to Seattle Jeremy suggested they go to the upper deck. With it still pouring, really windy, and with the view of the Space Needle, Qwest Field, and downtown Seattle, Jeremy got down on one knee and asked Gyna to marry him. That evening they later celebrated with a fabulous dinner at the Space Needle with Jeremy’s family. It was the most romantic night of their lives and a day they will never forget.

And, a few of my favs:
