Selina & Israel

A couple of weeks ago, we received a frantic email from a friend that works in the office at our church. A couple that belongs to our church had planned to renew their vows after 10 years of marriage. Israel, however, travels a lot for work and if they were going to do it, they had to do it quickly before he got sent overseas again. In their haste to pull everything together, they had been unable to find a photographer that fit the style that they were looking for. After talking with me, however, and viewing our website, we knew we had made a connection. And new friends.

During our phone interview, Selina expressed the desire to get some portraits made of her and Israel, as well as some new portraits of their children, to display at the reception. We only had a week to pull everything together that she wanted, but... we did it!

For the family and individual portraits, I met them at their house. They had wanted to do them outdoors, but the weather wasn't cooperating. We had a good time though, in spite of the weather. They have 3 adorable boys that were awesome to work with! The youngest, AJ, even got a fresh haircut for the event. He bragged most of the time that I was there that he got it cut "just like Ben's!" He said he wants to be just like Ben when he grows up - too cute!!

When the day of the ceremony finally arrived, we joined Selina and Israel, along with their family and friends, at New Hope Church. Their boys did an awesome job of standing as attendants and Pastor "B" officiated the ceremony. Afterwards, they headed to Las Rosas for some fun, food, and fellowship with family and friends.

Selina and Israel, thank you for allowing us to be a part of this time in your lives! We were honored to be allowed to capture these special moments for you!
