Baker Park Wedding (René & Yolanda)

What an unexpected, yet wonderful surprise did I find when I met with René & Yolanda to talk about their intimate wedding plans! Let me tell you a little bit about the back story. I’ve known René for many years now. In fact, I had the opportunity to capture his younger daughter’s senior photos some years ago. Funny thing is that I’ve also known Yolanda for some time. I can’t remember who I’ve known longer. And I also had the chance to work with her daughter for her senior photos a few years ago.

So when René recently reached out so I could document his wedding, he mentioned his fiancé, but it just didn’t click to me at that time. Eventually, we agreed to all meet in person so we could talk some more about their wedding plans and discuss photography. It wasn’t till the moment I met up with them that I realized that, the Yolanda I knew, was René’s fiancé! We all laughed so much that evening! For me, it was just the sweetest of surprises!

And I couldn’t be happier for both of them! On occasion, time and unexpected events lead you to the most surprising paths. All I can say is that these two wonderful people had the rare opportunity to find love again and they found it in each other. And this is just the most beautiful thing.

Their wedding day was lovely and intimate, surrounded by the people most important to them. I am so glad I was able to be part of their special day!
