Love stories often begin in unexpected places, weaving together the lives of two individuals destined for each other. Though Donna grew up in South Africa and Elijah across the globe in Russia, their love took root in the heart of Texas, amidst the welcoming walls of Countryside Bible Church. Their families have known each other for awhile and seemed inevitable that these two would eventually meet. But it was their shared devotion to their faith and an undeniable spark that drew them together.
Donna and Elijah’s engagement session at Colleyville Nature Preserve was not just a picturesque moment frozen in time but a sweet reminder of when Elijah first asked Donna to be his wife. As we walked through the park, Elijah pointed out where he got on one knee and asked Donna to marry him. Elijah’s thoughtful planning transformed the preserve into a romantic haven for his proposal, complete with a picnic adorned with a charcuterie board, champagne, and Donna’s favorite flowers – peonies.
But beyond the stunning scenery and thoughtful gestures lies a deeper truth – the foundation of their relationship built on faith, friendship, and a shared vision of forever. For Donna and Elijah, their wedding day isn’t just about the perfect venue or flawless decorations; it’s about embarking on a lifelong journey together, hand in hand, as best friends and partners in love.
What’s your advice for other couples planning their wedding?
focus on building relationships rather than perfection. The wedding is merely a stepping stone to a lifetime of shared moments, challenges, and triumphs. Stressing over the details detracts from the true essence of the day – a celebration of love.
How was your session experience with Kimberly?
Great! We had a ton of fun thank you! We love all the time and effort you took to make sure we had wonderful pictures and had fun!
I cannot wait for their wedding this summer at their church and then celebrating at the Fort Worth Zoo. I know it is going to be such a wonderful day with kind, genuine people. Please enjoy some of my favorites from Donna and Elijah’s Engagement session at Colleyville Nature Preserve.
