They stood holding hands, looking in opposite directions, in front of the oversized Spanish gazebo. A slightly out of tune mariachi band sent sharp ballads from its one portable amplifier, and the breeze shook the colorful streamers dangling from the sky. They fluttered in such a manner one might think they, too, wanted to inch away from the jagged melody. Roseann tugged Jerry in one direction and his black Converse remained in her elongated shadow.

They found themselves tucked in the crevices of Los Angeles’ Olvera Street and were not afraid to show onlookers just how in love they were. Kisses in front of the taquito restaurant, hugs in front of the maraca stand, snuggling next to the folklorico dresses. Jerry and Roseann loved openly along the streets where they first met.

Roseann saw Jerry from a slight distance when they were in the LAPD academy together and their relationship flourished over stake-outs, drug busts, and street patrol. Los Angeles has served as fertile soil for their relationship to lay its roots, so it was beautiful to watch to two souls pay tribute to the city that brought them together.

Roseann and Jerry are planning a fabulous wedding at Calamigos Ranch next April and I’m so excited to be a part of their special day! Everything about this couple oozes fun and I had a total blast at their engagement session photographing their love…I’m SO excited to be a part of their nuptials!
