josh & sarah | engagement

The week after Christmas it's a family tradition to head over to Palm Springs for some relaxation with my family. This year we had the privilege of meeting my brother's new girlfriend Sarah. Unbeknownst to Sarah, we all knew that Josh (aka "The Deaf Chef") would be proposing a few days later when they headed back to Sarah's hometown in NY.

Josh had asked me if I would mind taking some pre-engagment pictures of him and Sarah, and of course I was more than thrilled to do so! We were staying at an amazing time share right on a golf course, and surrounded by mountains. It was definitely the perfect setting for some fun and romantic images.

I've gotta say, Sarah is such a sweetheart and I'm thrilled my brother has found someone great to love and share his life with. The love between these two is just so apparent and they really are full of joy when they are together. Oh, and for anyone wondering... she said YES! Congrats you guys, and welcome to the family Sarah! I can't wait to make many more memories with you in the future.

If you'd like to check out Josh & Sarah's proposal photos you can do so on Cassi Claire's Website. Josh hired Cassi to be there and capture the proposal as it unfolded and to take some fun photos in NYC afterwards. Make sure you take a peek!

I knew Josh from the Las Vegas days. Though we met only a few times during my 2-year residence there, I got to know bits of him related to what kind of relationship he wants to have with a girl. It shows more especially in 2 photos that I saw.
