St Johns Engagement: Michael and Jen

I love it when the groom-to-be is into taking photos and sharing the moment. Michael was exactly that. Or maybe it was Jen’s winsome and flirtatious eyelashes that had him happy as a clam. I haven’t decided (I’m not  very good at making up my mind).

“he thought I was really cute” Jen confided over our skype chat as she shared their story. When his family invited us over for dinner, I “left my glove behind” so he would “have to return it”   This girl knows how to pull the line! Soon, everyone one knew love was in the making when Michael hurdled 30 miles ON A BIKE to be with her for a weekend.

Their story climaxes on a gloomy day in September, Jen was invited by the dashing Michael on a hike. Unfortunately, our heroine was feeling like anything but hiking. Cue Mission impossible. Through a super-human effort of spontaneous mental acuity Michael convinced Jen to ascend the mount. I don’t think she regrets it. 😉

Atop Table Rock Michael drops to his knee- “Jennifer Nicole Cassaro, will you marry me?”

“He middle-named me!” She glows. A terrible day turned out beautiful. “The way down was MUCH happier, I couldn’t stop looking at my finger” she giggles, head in her hands.

And so, happily engaged we speed to the a sun-shiny day in Cathedral Park where happiness is caught on camera.

We started under the bridge, beautiful lighted shade.

Jen you are so freaking beautiful. It’s almost making me jealous.

Because Jen you are the queen of his heart.

The matching shoes just about killed me, Please can I match with my fiance’?

HOT.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

Long before I was engaged, I knew I wanted Christa Taylor Photography to capture the special moments of my wedding. She more than met our expectations, and seldom a month goes by without somebody telling us how gorgeous our wedding pictures turned out! 
 Working with Christa is like finding some awesome girlfriend who completely gets you and can show you the beauty in whatever project you're undertaking. I recommend her to every bride I work with! Thank you, Christa, for your incredible work!

Christa is absolutely PHENOMENAL! My husband and I are beyond blessed to have had her capture our day! She was so great at directing people kindly and having fun too! She's a blast and we enjoyed the day more because of her! We loved getting to know her and she even had us to her home the week after our wedding for a brief photo shoot since the weather had been bad on the wedding day...she really went above and WAY beyond the call of a photographer and became our friend! She's the type we'd schedule a photo shoot with simply to see her and catch up!! Her baby is the cutest most joyful girl just like her momma! 💕There are not words to reccomend Christa highly enough! 💕We love you Christa!!
