Hello folks! Happy day after election day! 🙂

Ronica was actually a bridesmaid at a wedding i shot back in 2011 (Bettina & Kenloy). So when she contacted me that she was engaged i was pretty excited for her.  I love clients that come from past clients! Ronica & Christopher are based in Charlotte NC so the shoot took place over there. Ronica & Christopher treated me to a really good time and gave me mini tour of Charlotte 🙂 . Christopher played college football for Davidson College so we got some really cool Football themed shots at the school’s stadium. Loved the Jerseys with their fav teams, last name and Wedding date! We also made a stop at their favorite Doughnut shop Krispy Kreme then went to Downtown Charlotte to get some Evening shots. It was such a fun day and i got to know Ronica & Christopher so well. Looking forward to their wedding next year! Check out their awesome story below!

How we met:
We met on November 21, 2009 at the wedding of the minister of silent ambassador (sign language interpretation) of our church. Ronica was the hostess and I was an usher.I remember my first time talking to Ronica was in sign language, as there were many deaf and hearing impaired people at the wedding, and after a few signs I realized that she was still learning sign language, but I knew from that moment I wanted to get to know her more. So after the ceremony was over I was looking for Ronica so I could sit near her and I noticed her standing towards the back of the room. We began talking and getting to know a little bit about each other and exchanged phone numbers, and from that moment my spirit told me that she would be my wife.

The proposal:
The proposal took place on August 17, 2012 at 8:17pm, but it started around 3:30 pm. We had been talking about printing out pictures and making a scrap book of our pictures over the years. When I asked Ronica to be my girlfriend I had her do a scavenger hunt and find different clues asking her to be my girlfriend, and with the proposal I took the same approach. The first clue came in the pictures for the scrap book and it was a picture of me signing the word “will.” The clues then led us to the restaurant where we had our first date at the same table we ate at. There I gave her a picture of me signing “you.” The clues then led us to Krispy Kreme where we both love a hot fresh doughnut and there I gave her a picture of me signing “marry.” The final clue led us to our church where would receive the final picture of me signing “me” and at 8:17 pm in front of the church I asked Ronica to be my wife, and she said “yes, absolutely yes!”
