Bumble Couple's Romantic Papago Park Engagement Session | Cristina + Vince | Arizona Wedding Photographer


Okay you guys, you are seriously in for a treat today! First off, these two have some of the sweetest souls I've ever met. Second, they have the most adorable love story. Finally, third, you have to read it! I asked Cristina if I could share her story and she said yes! If these pictures don't make you fall in love with these two, I'm quite certain their love story will!

From Cristina:

"Nowadays, it seems like everyone's always meeting online. That's how we met... Bumble. Jokingly, we say we found each other on Craigslist's Missed Connections but, let's be fair, we need to give Bumble the credit they deserve.

Vince was my first match. Not knowing how to use the app, I had no idea that it was the girl's responsibility to initiate a conversation within 24 hours. Still trying to figure out the rules, I ended up not starting a chat with him and the "connection" expired forever! "Oh well...on to the next one" I thought, but then day two, I get a little notification saying "Vince used his one chance and extended this connection - you have 48 hours to respond"; THANK GOD! 

After a couple weeks of chit-chat, and me doing my due diligence in making sure he wasn't going to kidnap me, we decided to meet at a small Italian restaurant in the Biltmore area. For me, I was instantly attracted to Vince's confidence and his humor, but as far as first impressions go, when I first saw him walking towards me, I thought to myself, "Wow, this guy sure knows how to dress!". He works in Finance, and he had come straight from the office still dressed in his business attire. I on the other hand, left work 2 hours early so I could go home and change, do my hair and makeup, change again, and act like I came straight from work. 

We ended up talking for hours and hours, and drinking about 5 gallons of water each, since we were both so nervous. But, the more we learned about each other, the more we discovered how similar we were, yet curiously, we had completely different interests. From the very beginning it was clear that Vince was a HUGE sports guy. I never met anyone who was so in love with the Chicago Cubs, or baseball for that matter. I always thought memorizing sports stats was a waste of time, but Vince was way too passionate for me to dismiss it so soon. My passions were more about things like painting and cooking. After sharing with Vince my artwork and other hobbies, he quickly learned that I'm 'slightly above average at everything' -- including accents. I spent the majority of the evening being silly, just trying to keep Vince smiling and laughing.

When it came time to leave, me, being the straightforward girl that I am, excitedly said - "so I think this went well, I really like you". To which Vince replied, "yeah... you're... entertaining". On that note, we awkwardly half hugged, got in our cars, and left. 
Despite thinking that was the weirdest response in the world, we continued to see each other every week and soon, every day. And since the first day we met, we keep on entertaining each other. We share the same love for God, life and family, and whether it's by singing to each other, quoting movies, or just being goofy, we try to always keep each other smiling."   































So excited for their wedding this June!! Hope you loved them!

xoxo,

Trisha

Romantic Japanese Friendship Garden Engagement Session | Taylor + Matt | Phoenix Wedding Photographer


Well hello there and happy Thursday!! I have a treat for you on the blog today! It's not often that I get to have sessions with gorgeous greenery like this one! Plus, there's a bonus! These two, Taylor and Matt!

These two really wanted to step away from the desert scenery for their engagement session and try for something a little more green! I'd never heard of the Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix before they recommended it, but now, as you'll see, I'm pretty smitten with the place!

Would it be absolutely cheesy to say I'm pretty smitten with these two as well? This was my first time meeting Matt, and first time seeing Matt and Taylor together! It was so fun seeing these two interact, be playful, and love on each other! It amazes me just how different every single couple loves!

Matt and Taylor met at the hospital they both work at. Matt noticed this beautiful, kind nurse and knew he had to connect with her in some way. He ended up talking with her boss about whether Taylor was single and about connecting her with him. Taylor's boss was on top of it, and not half an hour later, she pulled Taylor aside (scaring Taylor half to death that she was in trouble) and connected the two! It wasn't long before they completely hit it off.

When the time for the proposal came, Matt sneakily worked with Taylor's parents to plan the perfect moment on their Christmas trip to Chicago. It was a family tradition of Taylor's family to take a carriage ride every time they were out there, but at the last minute Taylor's dad got a "work call", had to take it, and couldn't come. Taylor's mom hung back to stay with her dad, so Matt and Taylor hopped on alone and took the carriage ride themselves.  Matt had already had a quick conversation with the driver and told him/her what was happening and to take them on an extra long, more quite route. I'm not 100% sure how it really happened, but I can just imagine the carriage making it's way slowly down a quite street of Chicago, large snowflakes fluttering down all around, and time just stopping for a moment as Matt asked this beautiful girl he was smitten with from almost the moment they met, if she would become his wife.

These two are so darling together (as you'll see!) and I couldn't be more excited to be the one capturing their wedding this fall! Hope you love this little peek into their gorgeous Japanese Friendship Garden engagement session!



Feeding the fish! They were huge! 
 Hope you loved this little peek!

xoxo,

Trisha
