I was going through my old computer last night and stumbled upon one of my favorite images of all time.

Here's a little back story. Jon and Melyn lived in an apartment 2 buildings down from me a few years ago. Walking around the neighboorhood one day when I decided to strike up a conversation both of them. Next thing you know, its 10pm and were all standing outside with beers in our hands chatting it up. Instantly, I knew we would all be friends. New friends are always awesome! Especially within walking distance.

Fast forward quite a few months. It's engagement photo day! We picked a sweet location in the Ohlone-Sunol Regional Park and were on our way.

We arrived and started the engagement session. Typically I choose 3-4 spots to photograph to give my couples all the options they need. At some point we decided to take a random turn and ended up near the creek bank. The water was slowly washing over stones, the trees limbs rustling in the breeze. It was the perfect setting.

As I'm looking around, trying to find where I want to set up my next photo, I stumble upon a painted rock. Curious, I bend over and pick it up.

To my UTTER AMAZEMENT, there is an "J <3 M" PAINTED ON THE FRIKKIN ROCK!

I WAS BLOWN AWAY. At that moment I realized these two love birds were meant to be together forever. It was one of the most serendipitous moments of my life and im so thankful I was able to enjoy it with them. Seeing their reactions was even better.
