It’s an amazing thing when you see your brother find the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Pat is one of my best friends and the three of us (myself, Pat and Dan) have always been very close. It’s been a joy to watch the last two years of his life with his bride to be, Ari. These two met while working at TGI Friday’s in downtown GR and we got to know Ari very soon after they started dating. We immediately fell in love with her and obviously, so did Pat. They just recently purchased a home, which means they’re sticking around GR for a while, got a dog and are planning their big day in June of next year. I won’t be photographing the wedding, my associate photographer Theresa will be taking photos on their big day, but I was excited to take some engagement photos just a couple of weeks ago in downtown GR. These two are great and if you’d like to see their complete engagement photo gallery, be sure to visit their personal website.
