Elizabeth & Rudy. Engaged. Orange County Wedding Photographer.

He loves to play the guitar, she enjoys working out and they both just like hanging out with their family. He caught her eye immediately, but like most guys, he played it cool (I’m sure he really enjoyed the flirting) and waited until he was certain that she was interested in him. He approached her eight years ago while working at one of their first jobs out of college.  They went on a few dates and he was totally bit by the love bug….I’m talking a spiderman-life-changing type of bite. Now, Elizabeth and Rudy both work in the medical field. She’s an assistant physical therapist and he’s an EMT. Let’s fast forward a few years to the day when he popped the big question. Rudy first asked her to get away for the weekend and because Elizabeth loves hanging out in Palm Springs (my type of gal), he already knew she would give him the green light to start driving down highway 111. He had planned out a fancy schmancy dinner and when they arrived all the little details simply fell into place. As soon as he got on his knee and held out that beautiful rock, someone was already taking their photo. She said yes and now they are pouring their hearts out into all the little details of their upcoming wedding in January.

What’s also pretty amazing is that Rudy is the youngest of nine. Holy moly! Elizabeth and I both joked about how the ninth time was a charm for his parents. Elizabeth on the other hand is the eldest out of three so you know how that goes.  She’s the perfect match for him and gets to boss him around and he obliges. Isn’t that the how love works? Just kidding Rudy. From what I viewed at your engagement session, you two mutually share in the decision making and are completely enamored with one another. I can’t wait for your wedding!!!
