as a follow up to last week’s photo friday, i was super stoked when i saw the images Gabriel Ryan shot over to me from Aaron Dieppa’s wedding.
Barbara and Aaron were referred to me by my good friends Brian & his lovely fiancé Helen. When we first met, I knew it was fate that we were not only to work together to create their beautiful day…but also destined to be great friends! We chatted for hours about travel, food, music, our favorite movies (so excited to find out that aaron is a jean-claude van damme fan too!). When we finally called it a night, Barb jumped up and hugged me, saying that she felt so excited about her wedding plans knowing that we were going to work together!
The love story of barb & aaron is one where I can’t help but to marvel at God’s excellence! He brought these 2 strangers together for a chance meeting halfway across the world, only to have them randomly run into each other again back home in orange county…both just studying in a coffee shop. The love and happiness that they share just emanates from them, and you can’t help but have warm fuzzies when you are around them.
it was an absolute honor to work with them on creating a wedding that was a beautiful representation of their love story. during the planning we became great friends, which of course made the wedding day much more special to be a part of! (i definitely had to fight back the tears watching barb walk down the aisle!)
now…here comes the point where I become a big tease. You are going to want to read more about barb & aaron’s wedding and see all their amazing photos and details. but, you have to hang tight for their wedding to be published in utterly engaged! trust me…it will be well worth the wait!
I also have to give major props to the fabulous “dream team” that helped make the wedding special for barb & aaron!
