It was a Romeo and Juliet story... two people from two different worlds, but love kept them together. It was on the UC Irvine campus that Joel first took a liking to Bhavani. She shrugged it off, not being able to date. But like a true gentleman, Joel quietly persisted... that is, until he couldn't take it anymore. Finally, Bhavani gave into his valient efforts to win her heart and after several years together, the two are engaged to be married. Good work Joel ;) I'm sure she is well worth the wait AND the chase!
Their session began at Balboa Park on a mostly cloudy Sunday afternoon. When I asked Bhavani if there was anywhere in particular she wanted to shoot, she replied, "The Rose Garden"... little did we know, there are no roses in January. So we made do with cacti and succulents. But man, do they make cacti and succulents look
good!
Bhavani, you're gorg!
We ended the day at Coronado Beach where Joel had proposed. As we were walking to the shore, Joel told me the story of how Bhavani's father ruined the surprise. In India, men don't usually ask the bride's father for her hand in marriage. So when Joel called to get his blessing, Bhavani's father asked her...why? what does he want?
Even though there wasn't much surprise, Bhavani was still overjoyed and of course, said YES!
We were concerned the whole day that it was going to rain. Luckily, it didn't rain until the very end, and lookie-loo! A rainbow!
WARNING: absolute fierceness below!! :)
Joel and Bhavani, thank you so much for an incredible engagement session! I'm
so excited to photograph your wedding in September!
