Rachelle + Johnwin : Engaged
Session Date: December 23, 2008
She googled me. Yes, I've been googled and that's how I met Rachelle and Johnwin. :) We've corresponded strictly through emails and an occasional phonecalls. Well, all the phonecalls happened the day of the shoot, with me telling her where we were waiting for them at. :oP Rachelle works in the Philippines and Johnwin works here in Houston. They're engaged...but doesn't quite have the wedding date settled yet. But they needed "newly engaged" photos anyways! :) She was in Houston for a few weeks for the holidays and what better time than to do an engagement session than two days before Christmas? :) And since Thurst was still on vacation, I dragged Vince on this shoot with me to assist. :)

Stalkers, meet Rachelle and Johnwin. (Johnwin tells me that everyone thinks his name is John Nguyen! HA HA HA!)
When I first met Rachelle, she handed me a little gift. I was surprised to say the least..and I couldn't wait to open it!!! I sneaked a peek at it while they went down to the ground floor for pictures. :)
The best thing about shooting downtown a few days before Christmas....no people. :)

They are sooo sweet together. :) We didn't do too many crazy romantic pictures since they told they were a little PDA shy. :)
One of my faves. :)

Midway through, they went to change into something fancier....while we got stopped by the property security for shooting on the premise. Oops. But we worked it out. :)
I love this one! :)
Rachelle asked if we can do some with the Metro speeding by...which I thought would be a good idea as well. What I didn't realize was that the Metro bus was pretty short (comparing it to a train) and we had to wait and wait and wait for it to arrive - only to pop off one or two shots of it. :) So...here's "one" from one or the two shots that I was able to get. :)
Rachelle and Johnwin, congratulations on your engagement. And Rachelle, thank you so much for the beautiful brooch! I wore it on Christmas day to church and was showing it off to everyone. :)
