vasquez rocks engagement photographer / carine + ryan

Carine and Ryan are my hubby's best friends. They all used to work at Trump National together and have remained very close. Carine and Ryan are the most amazing couple. They always make everyone feel so loved. Can't wait for their big day. Words from Carine: Our little love story began over 7 years ago. Ryan and I worked together at a local golf course in the South Bay. We worked in different departments, but Ryan was always the first person I saw going into work, and with a simple wave to say hello this is how it all began.At this time in both our lives we hung out a lot with the same group of friends, but we never really crossed paths until one night. Ryan had invited one of my closest friends Natasha to go out to his house and he asked if she could invite me so we can all finally hang out. When we met with him that night, right away he gave me a big hug and a big smile. He was so happy to see us which I was surprised because he was so shy at work. We started the night just talking, joking around, and having so much fun together that we became inseparable from that night on.

I will never forget our first date, well if you call it that. I remember him finally asking me out on our first date without our group of friends, which I was super excited about. He planned it all out, dinner and a movie, which I loved only because it would be just me and him. Ryan took me to Sushi On Fire in Long Beach, which until this day, always makes me laugh because, of course, some of Ryan’s friends were there and called us over to eat with them. Ryan and I were pretty bummed because we wanted our alone time for our date. That night turned out to be his friend’s birthday celebration at his house; the place we were going to watch the movie. Until this day it’s still my favorite date together.

The moment I fell in love with Ryan was the moment he asked me to be his girlfriend. He did it in the sweetest way and in Spanish,which made it Sweet and impressive. Fast forward to our life right now, we couldn’t be happier. We have two fur babies together, Bruce and Wolfy, our little cozy home in San Pedro, and the most important thing is the love we have for each other.

There are so many reasons why I love and fell in love with Ryan. He is the sweetest, most caring, most selfless, and funniest person I know. He pushes me to be a better person and to reach for my goals. Every single day he shows me how much he loves me even when I am not having the greatest day. My sweet Ryan is the reason why I am so happy and in love with life.
