Laurencia & Francis | Jephson Gardens | Leamington Spa Engagement

Lifestyle

June 8, 2017

Laurencia and Francis traveled all the way from London to have their engagement shoot in Leamington Spa, just 20 minutes down the road from me. I was so thankful they came all the way! After only spending an hour together, I felt like I had found long lost friends! We couldn’t stop laughing! I left feeling so encouraged, and not so surprisingly, the second time I met with them it was just the same.

Laurencia and Francis became husband and wife just last week in Eastbourne. It was a pleasure to travel down to them for a change and stay the weekend on the beach. Their wedding day was a non-stop party and, of course, more laughter and joyfulness ensued. But much more on that later…

They met when they were only kids, but it was in their twenties when their paths crossed again and their relationship sparked. Francis was studying in America at the time and Laurencia was in England. There were countless late night Skype calls and conversations about anything and everything over Facebook. Their infatuation with each other knew no distance.

One day on the phone, as Francis put it, “Laurencia freaked out when I expressed my love to her the first time. Impatiently waiting for what seemed like eternity, her answer finally came the following day, and she was like ‘Yeah, let’s go for it.'” Laurencia, I know you were just trying to keep it cool! ;)

Nearly 3 years later, Francis planned a day out in London where they visited a zoo, played mini golf and took a walk through Regent’s Park together. I can just imagine Francis beaming from ear to ear as he paused at the right moment and got down on one knee. Through tears and laughter, he asked his girlfriend to be his wife and she didn’t hesitate to say YES!
