Sometimes your soulmate is that friend of yours you met at church. The one who wanted to date you and sort of asked you out, but you didn’t realize he was asking you out. Until you find out much later, and he courageously asks you again, and this time you know his intentions, and the eyes of your heart are opened; it was him all along.

Marina and Michael are soulmates through and through. They are both from Egyptian decent, love the New York Giants, and celebrating the holidays. When Marina called me with the idea of a tree decorating engagement session, I was completely on board. We met at a Christmas tree farm in New Jersey, and the two of them celebrated their love with hot cocoa, Christmas decorations, and even brought their own snow. We also took a stroll through Princeton University, which is one of my favorite campuses.

This was one of my favorite sessions of the year, filled with so much joy and laughter. I’m so excited to celebrate with Marina and Michael next year in New Jersey for their Big Fat Egyptian Wedding (we’re talking over 400 guests!) I’ll be sure to eat my Wheaties that morning!

Congratulations Marina and Michael!
