Las Vegas had called them both. Jessie was there for a conference, and Tristan was there for a golf tournament. Tristan had just won big, but he was about to win even bigger in love. Jessie was sitting with her colleagues at the bar, unaware that the man she was about to meet would be the one she would allow into her heart.
Tristan remembers the moment as….“The first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. Your smile caught my attention from across the room, and as I walked closer, it felt like a fog was lifting, revealing the most beautiful sight I had ever seen.”
Tristan offered to buy Jessie a drink. She told him that he would have to buy a drink for everyone in her tribe. He did. And so they both gambled… with Tristan’s money and took a gamble with their hearts. They talked until 3:00 a.m. They learned they were both grieving. Within a week’s time, they had both lost people they loved. It was the start of being there for each other.
But being there for each other was not as easy. Jessie lived in California and Tristan in Colorado—phone calls, text messages, and finally a first date in Temecula. Jessie, who did her best to guard her heart, would soon see that Tristan was kind, generous, patient, and loving. “My love for Tristan took its time to come…I was guarded, extremely guarded and did not want to allow anyone in my space and much less with my family. However, his genuine and pure personality allowed him into my heart. My heart was broken because of losing my dad, we both had huge voids in our lives, and by the grace of God and our two angels in heaven, we met. “
Tristan was with a woman he felt had saved him in so many ways. Jessie was romantic, deeply rooted in love and emotional connection, heartfelt, sincere and genuine in expression, and devoted, showing unwavering commitment and affection. This was the woman he wanted as his wife.
“Every day I spend with you, I fall even more in love. You are the strongest woman I have ever met, with the biggest heart, and the way you love is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. You love with your heart, your soul, and your whole being—and it’s the most incredible gift I’ve ever been given.You are my best friend, my confidant, my ride-or-die. You are the best part of me, and my world is complete with you in it. The truth is simple—you are my world.“
So at Wilson Creek Winery, the same place where they had gone on their first date, Tristan asked Jessie to marry him. This was no longer a gamble or even a sure bet. This was certainty. Jessie said, “Yes.” to the man she loved.

Mia was holding her dog in the profile picture that Jeff noticed on Hinge. The dog was cute, and the girl holding it was beautiful. Jeff nervously thought of a million things to message; he finally asked about the dog. She answered him, and he learned that the dog’s name was Poppy. From that moment on, Jeff—much like Poppy—found his heart on a leash, with Mia holding the other end.
Their first date almost didn’t happen. The plan was to meet in San Diego, but a miscommunication led them to meet a hundred miles away in Fontana. She was visiting her grandmother, and Jeff was meeting up with family to leave for a vacation.
Jeff soon saw that Mia was not just beautiful outside, but her beauty came from within.
“Mia is incredible; she is unconditional, kind, empathetic, and just a strong force of love and compassion. I love her because no matter what I do that may frustrate her, no matter how long my hours are at work, she stays by my side and always has my best interests at heart. I love her because of her undying support, her beautiful soul, and her willingness to put up with me.”
Mia soon learned that the cute guy who had her attention was also one that brought her calmness.
“Jeff is the most emotionally intelligent person I know. He brings me a lot of peace and calm. He is passionate, uplifting, and compassionate. I love how his family leans on him and how close and supportive he is with everybody in his family. He’s good at everything he puts his heart into and he’s very funny, but if you say that to him you won’t be able to turn the jokes off. I knew he was the one after he met my family and everybody got along so effortlessly. My very macho, quiet uncle even pulled me aside to tell me he really loved Jeff. Everybody who meets him loves him.“
From the beginning, Jeff was all-in—lavish dates, a private gondola ride, a Valentine’s dog cake for Poppy, even inviting Mia to Alaska after just three weeks (she politely declined). All big crazy things! Mia was a little hesitant about it at first, but she soon realized that he was just somebody who went all in on what he wanted. And what Jeff wanted was Mia.
On Christmas Eve, the three of them—Jeff, Mia, and Poppy—set out for a walk. Jeff’s plan was to propose under a big tree in a roundabout. But Poppy, the matchmaker from day one, had other ideas. She slipped off her leash and led them to the backyard.
There, with Poppy as witness, Jeff asked Mia to marry him. She said, “Yes,” to the man she loved.

I am a story teller with camera. I love capturing details... your shoes next your bouquet, a close up of your rings, flowers down the aisle. I love capturing emotions...your fiancé's face when he sees you for the first time, your mom biting her lip as she sees your dad walk you down the aisle and you laughing as your Maid of Honor tells the behind the scenes part of your love story. I love capturing amazing moments...your first kiss as husband and wife... Yes, I am a romantic and I am blessed to do what I love. I get to capture the ultimate promise of love... a wedding.
A picture captures a moment in life, a reason to remember, holding the ones we LOVE... FOREVER.. in a Story in Time.
