"Before, I do" Gerard and Tiffany

I had the opportunity of photographing my long time best friend Tiffany, and her Fiance, Gerard! Engagement photos are pretty awesome! I captured some really good moments in this session. There is no doubt in my mind that these two are definitely in love! I wish you guys the best in the future. May God bless the two of you!

Here's their story:

Gerard and Tiffany met as friends in 2003 through their mutual friend, Dyverynce. Attending an induction ceremony of a new organization on Virginia Tech's campus, Gerard chatted with Tiffany and a group of her friends from Radford during the event. Both dating other individuals at the time, it was nothing more than casual friendship during our first introduction. It was not until years of continued friendship that we started to get closer in our friendship, and on May 22, 2007 decided to make it official to pursue each other in courtship.

December 2, 2008

The Monday prior was her birthday and her friends showed Gerard up by getting Tiffany a Tony Romo jersey and a plane ticket to travel to Dallas to see a game. He was a little perturbed with the friends because he asked them to let him know what you all were going to do so that he could plan accordingly. Gerard gave her a gift and asked if he could give her the rest of it later...in which she hesitantly said yes. He knew he was going to get the ring when he went home but Gerard asked for the time because there was a store that specialized in team paraphernalia. So the night before, Gerard decided to wrap every gift individually and give it to her like that. H gave her the Cowboys stuff (it was about 4 things).

For the last gift, he looked at her and said 'I couldn't top your friends but here is something from the heart'. She opened it and saw it was a wedding planner. She looked like 'this is nice.....wait a minute....why does he....is he really about to....' and she just put her head down and started smiling and laughing. Gerard proposed to Tiffany and of course she said yes.
