Introducing Peggy and Patrick

Last night we met Peggy and Patrick at a pizza restaurant and followed them down to the Bosque for their Engagement session. This session definitely did not go as planned but in the end it was well above our expectations. No sooner did we get out of our vehicles when the rain started to pour. At first we thought "well maybe it won't be that bad" but after about two minutes we all agreed that, in fact, it was that bad. Rather than going home to pout about it the four of us decided to go back to the pizza place for a pizza and beer dinner. As it turns out the front dining room is all windows and the light was fantastic so out came all the cameras again. There was a fantastic mural on the wall and it made the perfect backdrop for Peggy and Patrick sharing a beer. Later, after we had devoured all the pizza and garlic bread we could hold, the rain had stopped and after a short discussion it was decided to return to the river and resume the session. Just goes to show you never know what's going to happen.


Here's a fun little story about how they met...

I met Patrick about a month after I moved back to Albuquerque in 2003. Patrick's dad was my mentor and introduced me to Patrick. While Patrick and I work for the same company at the time he worked in a different building so I knew who he was but never really talked to him. He came with his dad to help a friend of mine move and we got to talking and the rest is history. He proposed in January of 2007 in the middle of the night in front of all of our close friends during a game night. He decided the moment was right and just did it, but he didn't have the ring. A friend of ours took him home to get the ring then came back and proposed again. It was a great night! We will be getting married in July and I cannot wait to begin our new lives together and start a family.
