J Snider Photography: Jon & Stephanie: Engagement: Public Garden [Boston]

On a warm night in a San Diego karaoke bar a hot blond belted out the vocal stylings of Pat Benatar and changed her life forever.[Hit Me With Your Best Shot] Jon was in the bar that night and immediately took a liking to the twinkle-eyed Stephanie. And the rest, as they say, is history. However, there was a tiny glitch...Stephanie made it very clear from day one that she was moving to Boston for two years to go to grad school and was not about to change her plans for any man. This could have been the end of it for most couples, but Jon knew he had something special with Stephanie and, albeit difficult with the coast to coast distance, gave her his blessing as she boarded the plane...and then months later he proposed and she said "yes" and she finished school and Jon came for graduation and she called me up and said she wanted an engagement session and it was the only day we would ever be able to shoot because he was leaving the next day and....it RAINED! Ah well...we still had fun.
