I’ve known Christine & Derek since childhood and their story together starts way back in elementary school when they were what kids considered ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’. (You know, when a boy walking a girl to the cafeteria was a big deal). However, Christine’s family moved to away and they parted ways. All this time later they’ve made their way back to each other as life brought them home to DFW. They’ll be married later this fall in their hometown of Mansfield and I only felt that it was fitting that their engagement session should be there as well. I couldn’t have been more excited to photograph these two and let me tell you, we haven’t changed much since the days of recess and hall passes. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds for Christine & Derek as they start this new chapter of life. Congrats you two!
