portrait and lifestyle photographer: Brandy + Tyler

even though i was in another relationship i couldn't help but introduce myself to Brandy at our friends party. Tyler laughs looking Brandy in the eyes. it was our first meeting but certainly not the last she chuckles.
i sit there and watch these two sitting in front of me, one with a coffee in her hand and the other with a beer and i can feel their excitement pouring out of them.
the thing is, i started falling for her when every time she was around she did her best to make her presence known both to me and to my girlfriend at the time. if someone is working that hard to get my attention, she got it.
and now they're inseparable. i take a sip of my own coffee trying to divert my eyes from her mesmerizing ring and she blushes bashfully. i never wanted anything this big she plays with it nervously, i was quite happy with the first one he got me.....
but the minute i saw this one i knew it was meant for her Tyler cuts in. she deserves it!
as if one ring wasn't enough, there was also two proposals! now i'm in love!
sitting on the couch watching a movie together Tyler got up to stretch his legs and walked over to his jacket hanging on the coat rack in the hallway.from the pocket he retrieves a small velvet box. casually he walks back to the couch and sits down. without a word, tongue caught in his cheek, heart pounding he pulls out the box and opens it in Brandy's direction. before she can answer he's down on one knee looking at her expectantly but she's so stunned that no is the first word that pops out.
no?
yes!
that was the first proposal with the first ring. sort of a promise ring he says.
three years later they're sitting at a Casino when he leans over casually...pssst, he says. i think you want this.
in his hand he holds another velvet box. "the" ring, he says.
i knew i loved him when everything just started happening, one date led to the next and the next and now we're here.
when you know, you just know. she smiles and on august 13th 2011 they will share that knowledge with their family and friends.
