KHARA.AND.JAKE.::.THEIR.STORY.

your story is unique... one of a kind. and i think it is in that uniqueness, not in any kind of systematic perfection, that my love for story draws its fervor.

khara & jake drew me in with their story. we sat in that cozy little bohemian cafe, while jake ordered a slew of treats to whet our taste buds. when i handed over their engagement book, i watched & listened to khara & jake pour out with excitement. their big day was almost here...

i met these two and immediately knew it was a good fit. it was like hanging out with good friends, sharing anecdotal bits of life with one another. their whirlwind of a journey brought khara & jake together quickly, lending truth to the old adage 'when you know, you know.' their introduction was quirky, but it didn't take long for jake to realize that khara was 'the one.' and it wasn't long before plans were being made. it wasn't long before the preparatory steps were being taken towards binding two lives & two stories, into one.

in fact, part of that preparation had begun years before, when jake's parents began praying for khara, long before the two had met. and it was 29 years later, when khara & jake sat on the couch watching a soccer game, exchanging hi-fives in the excitement of a goal scored, that roger & becky tirabassi knew the woman they had been praying for, all those years, was khara.

khara & jake, thank you so much for the invitation. the two of you have blessed me more than you may know. say hi to a howler monkey & eat some good seafood for me during your honeymoon in costa rica! pura vida!

here are a few images taken from their wedding in dana point, california. make sure to check back tomorrow for the slide show...
