Who would have guessed that when Ariana’s dad, the pastor of a church in Columbia, Maryland, suggested to his daughter that she join a new church that was starting in College Park where she was studying, that she would meet the man of her dreams? Well that is exactly what happened. Jon Martin, a talented carpenter, was helping with the new church when Ariana joined. I don’t think it took very long for them to notice each other and soon it was clear that there was more than just a little interest. That interest blossomed into romance and now here we are, less than 3 weeks away from Jon and Ariana’s wedding day! God is good!
We met just a little before sunrise for these engagement photos back in April. (I know, I’m so behind but I was gone for 5 weeks with my family on vacation and when I go on vacation, I really go on vacation). Anyway, Jon and Ariana had already scoped out the location and had a few spots in mind. I love it when my clients own their session and have ideas. Ariana looked gorgeous and Jon is already doing such a good job looking out for her and taking care of her. They are so clearly smitten and in love – so adorable! It was a lovely morning and my subjects made it even lovelier.
Thank you Jon and Ariana for allowing me to be part of your journey! I cannot wait for your wedding!
