There it was. A yellow jeep. Trying to be cooler than my red one, and then I knew. I knew I had to meet the owner of the cool car wanna be. Little did I know, after 3 and a half years, the owner of said car would become one of my best friends! Jacob has become like my little brother. Even though he is obviously older than me. 🙂 We’ve been through some crazy things in our friendship and the reason for this post tops them all!

I’ll never forget it. We were standing in a group of people, waiting to start a game of midnight run, and Sasha and I became immediate friends. On the heels of a break up, Sasha already knew exactly how to affirm me. 5 minutes into our conversation, I knew we would be great friends. Sasha has been one of the best friends any one could ask for. She always knows how to call me out without crushing my spirit, and how to love me without smothering me. I am so excited about this big step my two friends are about to take!

Jacob called me late one Sunday, wanting to plot and scheme the best scam of all time. He knew we had to fake some kind of photoshoot to throw Sasha off of the “proposal scent”. She is quite intuitive…but mostly nosey and was getting a little to close for Jacobs comfort! So, in an effort to help the situation, I made up a lie. Unfortunately, I am a horrible liar. Fortunately, I have never lied to Sasha and she went for it.

We told her that I had a “high profile client” that was quite demanding and beginning to freak me out. So, naturally, I needed to do a practice shoot at the location my detailed clients wanted to have their engagement session done. Sasha naturally obliged. Here are some of my favorites from our fun afternoon together about two weeks ago. Sorry for the delay 🙂

Jacob and Sasha at their finest. Good looking and…a little odd.

Pay close attention to Jacob in these photos. You can see just how anxious he is to propose in a few hours! Look how sweetly he is admiring his soon to be fiance! I LOVE IT!

When Sasha wasn’t looking, Jacob would dance, jump up and down and shake his booty at her. The whole time, mouthing the words

“She has no idea! I am so excited! AHH!”

Jacob took Sasha for an “impromptu” dinner at the Mansion on Turtle Creek. And by the time desert came around, Ali and I had nearly ruined the proposal a million times. Luckily…and thankfully we didn’t.

I love you guys!!!

 

Just when Sasha thought the day couldn’t get any better, or more confusing, Jacob surprised her with a party at our friend Lukes house! There must have been 50 people there! Sasha began to bawl…again. And then just about passed out when she saw that her friends from Florida had driven all the way to make the surprise that much sweeter!

Congratulations you two! I can’t wait for the big day!

The sun was starting to set in its “I only surprise the world by being this beautiful a few times a month” kind of way as I pulled into the parking lot at the South Side building to meet Nathanial and Lindsey. As soon as I saw their faces, I knew they were as excited as I was for the hours ahead of us! Nathanial graciously bought me a yummy iced mocha coffee with 2 splendas (the only way to have it) from Opening Bell Coffee House, and we walked around the property getting creative ideas and talking about the big day!

When I asked how their relationship began, even though I feel like I should have known the answer to that a long time ago, Lindsey laughed and Nathanial gave her the “you should probably tell her” look. As it turns out, Lindsey started coming around Nathanials group of friends solely because she was actually interested in his room mate. Nathanial then rejoiced in telling me that when he found out that she and his room mate weren’t going to work out, he knew it was his opportunity to swoop in! So, he did! And the rest is history!

These two are tying the knot on March 18th and I am already so giddy with excitement! There really is no feeling like capturing a friends big day! All of that being said, here are some of my favorite pictures of all time, of two beautiful people!

You would be surprised to know that the majority of Dallas drivers have a lot of courtesy for photography! Even though we were definitely wanting them to keep driving for this shot, they insisted on slowing down and even stopping from time to time! HAHA!

Nathanial could not be more proud of his gorgeous fiance!

I love how easily a couple in love can become intwined within one another.

Hello gorgeous!!!

Seriously Lindsey. Wow. You are breath taking!

These two are the perfect compliment for one another. They are completely at peace when they are together, and when they touch, you heart cant help but flutter with the excess of pure love they share for one another.

Lindsey picked out their perfect outfits! Look how well they match the building! I don’t know if that was intentional but…I love it!

Umm…hello gorgeous ring! Good job Nathanial!

Love you guys! I am absolutely ecstatic about the big day!!!
