It was Christmas Eve in South Texas. This is where David grew up….and that day  he made yet another memory he’ll never forget. That morning he woke Brandi and brought her out to the ranch where he grew up. She wasn’t feeling great but he knew she’d love to go out and shoot the 45 with him. But he had another thing in mind.

As she finally made her way around the car he was standing there…present in hand. When she opened the box, inside sat a Louis Vuitton purse.

“Open it to see if there is enough room in there for all of your things!!!” David encouraged her.

“I don’t care!! It’s a Louis!” ….was Brandi’s response.

He encouraged her again and she looked inside to find her ring. It is custom-made and designed by David to incorporate the Fleur de lis that she loves so much. She turned around and there he was…down on one knee.

It may not have been love at first sight, but it must be true love. Because here they are, almost five years later….still holding each other, living life, and laughing together, so much laughing…especially with Brandi’s nose crinkled.

They may not have much in common but there are a few things they do agree on. 1. They both love the color green. 2. They love to do things that are different, out of the box, and unique. 3. They love their bulldog. 🙂

Brandi and David,

Thank you so much for spending the afternoon with me! It was wonderful being around others who are so open-minded and creative! I appreciate all the effort you put into preparing for your session and for making the drive all the way from San Antonio to allow me to capture your love!

Live Simply, Love Freely,

Catherine
