Another fabulous engagement session! This time from Jennifer Weiss of Jennifer Weiss Photography. As soon as Jennifer sent us the photos, we fell in love with them. The H letter, used as a prop, was something Jennifer found at Anthropologie. H is the first letter of both Greg and Laticia’s last names, so how fitting right!? Have a look at what Jennifer had to say below, and be sure to see her post about the session on her blog.
It was a cross country romance that started at the most idyllic place… 111 Love Street. That’s where Laticia and Greg first met. She is from California. He is from Florida. She was in town for a few days on business. A mutual friend encouraged them to meet up and one thing led to another.

Katie and Matt are newlyweds living on Oahu. They got married in Chicago two months ago, among family and friends and decided to have a last minute honeymoon on Maui before Matt is deployed to Iraq. He is leaving for an entire year, in just a few short days. It breaks my heart to think about being apart from my husband Elan for more than a week, let alone an entire year.
