My sister is getting married!

I still can't believe it! My little sister Lidia is getting married! The day I flew back from Italy, from the Jose Villa Workshop, my sister and her boyfriend flew out to Portland for the weekend, and she got proposed to the day I got back! Initially the plan was that I would go take their pictures and hide behind some trees or something, and plans changed! My youngest sister Nicky ended up taking a few pictures during the proposal, and they turned out great! :) Here are some pictures from the proposal!

This past weekend, I flew out to LA for the holidays, and on the 19th we had a small family get together and had an engagement party! (Yes! I said small! We're Romanian...and small family get together about 45 of us. haha!) We all went out to eat at Fogo de Chao! If you are a meat lover, that is the place to go! Afterwards, we went to our house, and I took a few pictures of my sister and her fiance! Here are some pictures of the family at the restaurant and pictures of the gorgeous couple!

Growing up, my sisters and I have always talked about who will be getting married first, and I always knew it was going to be Lidia! I couldn't be more excited for her to start her knew life with Andrei! :) I'm already missing her tons, since I moved up to Portland....so I'm hoping she'll move close by soon ;) I mean common...later on wouldn't it be nice if our kids grew up together?! lol I love you tons Lidia, and am excited for you! Your wedding is coming up so soon, and we have tons of work to do, but I know its goin to turn out AMAZING, because you are amazing and everything you set out to, do turns out great! ;) Can't wait for March...you are going to be the most gorgeous bride out there! ;) Love you sister!

Engagement Session, Portland Oregon | Haley and Dan

Haley and Dan definitely have a fun story on how they met!
Dan started to explain the story by telling me him and Haley are both in the medical field doing two complete different things. Dan was all smiles as he was telling me about the first time he saw Haley in the hallway one day at the hospital!  He asked around to see who she was, and Haley had no interest in Dan at all! But for Dan it was love at first sight, he says! He would purposely make his way around that part of the hospital more often to see Haley, but she never seemed to give him any sign of interest! Long story short, they eventually kept bumping into each other, as they seemed to have some mutual friends and they slowly started getting to know each other, and the rest is history!! :)
