victoria and jonathan, we are a family | sneak peek

I was finally granted the opportunity of meeting these two back in January ... the very day they became engaged.

What a way to start a friendship.

These are new friends that I am honored to number in my life. New friends, that are turning out to be pretty special. And I simply couldn’t be happier for them as they embark on a beautiful life together.

How I enjoyed spending this afternoon with them, and the ever-charming Noah. Despite the brutal sun and sniffing a gnat up my nose (... still shuddering about that one ...) - it was an afternoon that I cherish. One of my very favorite things is capturing the love shared between individuals. And these two had that love in abundance. That day ... and every day.

V ... What can I say? You are sublimely divine, inside and out. A woman after my own heart. I’m thankful to call you ‘friend’. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am for you. Even though I just met you ... I know you deserve this. You create beautiful things; you radiate beautiful things. And this new chapter in your life is yet another thing I know you will make beautiful. Sublimely so ... just like yourself.

Jonathan ... You truly are a gem. I can see how happy you make my friend; how happy you make each other. And I am happy for you. Thank you for your willingness to let me document that love this day. You helped to make my job easy. Even though I was completely had - and was convinced you were a model from Puerto Rico. I always say, any man who is willing to have their picture taken (or at least fakes it well) is a keeper. And as Victoria knows ... you are.

Truly - it was an afternoon that warrants cherishing. And it was one that I was honored to take part in. Thank you both.

Yes. How happy I am for them. How happy I am for all of them. As Noah so rightly said: We are a family.

Enjoy.
