Maria and Thomas’ gorgeous engagement session was a blast to photograph. We laughed until our bellies hurt.

I love chatting with my couples as we walk to our location. I love getting to know them and hearing how they found each other and fell in love. Are you ready for their story?

In 2019, Maria and Thomas’ story began. However, it didn’t end the way they wanted. Both were dealing with a lot of baggage, and they realized they were toxic to each other. So, they decided to end their relationship and move on, wishing each other the best.

Little did they know, the best was yet to come. In December 2022, Thomas accepted Christ as his personal Lord and Savior and decided to make better choices. He started by hanging out with a good friend group, Maria’s friend group.

Meanwhile, Maria prayed for her future husband and surrendered entirely this part of her life to Christ.

Their story began to unfold in April 2023. Maria had a dream in which they were swimming in a pond, and she kept hearing the word “reconciliation” over and over. She had a hunch that God was trying to tell her something.

Later that week, they were hanging out at a friend’s house, talking and doing more things together. At this point, Thomas committed to praying about their relationship for a month while they continued to hang out as friends.

At the end of the month, Thomas knew his answer. He asked Maria to be his girlfriend, and both knew they were in it for marriage. They dated for two months, and then Thomas decided to propose.

“He got down on one knee, and Maria, overwhelmed by emotions, could barely hear Thomas’ words over her repeated “yeses.” While photographing their engagement session, it was apparent that they love and care for each other deeply. Their love story had a happy ending.”
