By high school, these two kids had their hearts throbbing for one another. I’m sure you could practically see their love bulging out of their freshly pressed polo shirts, pink for her, and white for him. Christine or “Kitty” as her friends like to call her, and Van met and then fell in love during their teens. Like if the intense late night studying wasn’t enough attending respective all-girls and an all-boys school surely would have pulled them apart, but cupid struck them hard. Christine and Van made it last. They continued to court all throughout college. These sweethearts both attended and graduated from Cal Poly Pomona. As they began their careers they continued to foster their love for each other.
Last Thanksgiving, Christine and Van celebrated being thankful for their families, like they do every year, and also their growing love. It just so happened that Thanksgiving 2011 landed on their anniversary. After staying up all night from cooking a feast for her family, Christine was a bit delirious and needed a break from all the festivities. Van stole her away for a bit and their little adventure had them walking around downtown Los Angeles until they ended up at Pershing Square. They were about to get escorted out by security when Van insisted that they have their picture taken. As the guard was going to snap their photograph, Christine could see her love, Van, starting to bend down. Instead of jumping to conclusions, as most of us girls would have done, Christine in her delirious state thought the obvious, he has to tie his shoe. But of course, when she looked down, he was on one knee with the prettiest ring in his hand.
Kitty and Van, clearly you two are meant for each other. I’m so excited to showcase the love that you shared during your engagement photos and I can’t wait to capture this and more on your wedding day! Congratulations xoxo. Here’s some more of their engagement shoot. .jpg "kvb1")

[…] Christine and Van are one of those couples that truly complete one another because of their opposite attractions. Of course they have a lot of similarities: they are both undeniably attractive, they have a mellow but hip style, they are so very kind, and of course they love one another to pieces. On their wedding day I also learned that they each show their heart-throbing love for one another vey differently. From early in the afternoon ’till late at night, Christine was very subtle in her touch and gentle in her kisses. Van on the other hand, is more of a public display of affection type of guy. He was ready to spin Christine into his arms, got a little grove going on during their first dance, and he definitely landed a passionate kiss on Christine after their vows. Now, that’s my kind of guy! With that kind of chemistry, I know their love is forever. Congratulations you two gorgeous love birds! […]
beautiful session! you rock EVIE!
