They grew up miles apart, he in a borough and she on an island. Family and school brought them from Queens and Jamaica to Georgia. Years later it was again, family and school, that led them to finally meet. Introduced by Mike’s cousin while Christine attended law school at the University of Georgia, something sparked between them and they are now inseparable.
For engagement shoots I really encourage my couples to chose a location that is special to them. Locations that are representative of them and most bring me to where they became engaged. Though my passport is up to date, we did not board a plane to Jamaica but I did love hearing how Mike proposed to Christine. With the help of her family, they ventured to the city where she was born and before she knew what was happening Mike surprised her with a ring and a proposal. For their engagement shoot they brought me to Centennial Olympic park, my first visit, and later to Atlantic Station visiting the same park bench where they originally had their first kiss.
My fellow Wesleyan sister, I am so happy for you!! When I think of you I first hear your accent that sings in my head and I am just so happy for your accomplishments in these few short years from when we graduated together. You rocked this photo shoot with your sassy self! Mike, it is always fun to be around you. You are truly the kindest person, so darn funny and it was great to spend time with you both.
See you in April!
