Jeremy is in the airport getting ready to board his flight to Colorado for his annual work trip. Gabriella had just reactivated her Tinder account for the last time and swiped left on Jeremy. He instantly messaged her saying “You look familiar, where do I know you from?” Gabriella - “Well I’m a massage therapist could be from anywhere.” They get to chatting and realized they both went to Southfield Lathrup High School together years ago. Gabriella becomes more comfortable with Jeremy after a couple of days of chatting and gives Jeremy her number. He was charming, she was sweet.. they decided to have their first date at Buffalo Wild Wings, in Royal Oak a few days later, and they were inseparable ever since.
Our family photographer Kourtni had contacted Gabriella. We had just got done doing Christmas pictures with her and she reached out not even a month later asking to do another photoshoot with the family downtown for free! Who doesn’t love free? Gabriella agreed and decided to dress everyone up since she really didn’t like how the Christmas photos came out, she decided this would be the make up pictures. She was running around all day the day of trying to find matching sweaters for everyone. Decides to tell Jeremy to stop and get money to give her as a tip because she’s just so grateful for this second photoshoot. Gabriella was also stressed because she had to leave immediately after the shoot to clean her house up for her friends from school to come over for a Friendsgiving. They get downtown, meet Kourtni, she hands Gabriella and Elena flowers for the shoot and has them pose. Then has them all line up in a straight line but has Gabriella turn around only to find Jeremy on one knee! Gabriella is crying, the boys were confused, (they didn’t know) Elena is smiling. Then she says “Yes!” We finish up pictures and Vincent says “About time!” The rest was history.
