Jake and Chelsea's Winter Engagement

They met years ago at church. Chelsea and Jake were introduced as two people who would be "best friends" - and that was true. They became best friends, did so many things together, from Sky Diving to watching movies. But they weren't together. In fact, they were "just friends" (in a very real sense) for years. Jake told me that it was several years in, after some complications in his life he started seeing Chelsea as more than a friend. He noticed how kind she was, how thoughtful, and how she treated his boys. But, because she was his best friend, he decided to not pursue it. This was true for over a year. Then one day, Chelsea realized that she loved Jake. It wasn't that he was just a friend, he was more than that to her.

So she resolved to do nothing about it.

Yeah, not exactly what I thought would happen either. Her "nothing about it" wasn't totally accurate though, as I talked with her more, she made it clear that she still flirted with Jake - a lot. And there became a point (after a night of pinky wrestling) that Jake had decided there HAD to be something else there. He wasn't crazy. So he called her.

She didn't answer.

Now, of course this lead to him being deflated. He was ready to talk about how he felt! So when she called back twenty minutes later, he had to sike himself up again. He would tell her how he felt, and Chelsea would tell him how she felt. It wouldn't be long until they got married! Now I get the chance to capture their photos, not just engagement, but also wedding! So excited to share my favorites today.
