Jason and Christina | Mariea Rummel Photography

Jason was enjoying his time on leave with friends at the Hacienda Del Rio in Folsom when he eyed Christina. From that moment on they were smitten with each other. Distance was not going to be an issue when Jason deployed again to serve his country and when he returned, Christina took the plunge and moved to North Carolina to be with the man of her dreams. It was there on one of his leaves that Jason and Christina married in a private civil service and promised each other a big-bash of a wedding in a year, surrounded by their loved ones. That time has come and last week the two love birds flew in from North Carolina and we photographed their "engagement" session, five days prior to the wedding.
