When I first spoke to Dayra and Thomas I knew they were going to be a great fit for Laura Lee Photography. I mean, Tom proposed at a waterfall for Pete’s sake so I was already super excited about the possibilities with them!
They met while she was training under him at Best Buy. While Dayra was super shy at first around him, she finally mustered up enough courage to talk to him and the rest is history! Somewhere in that TV aisle sparks were flying! That was 8 years ago.
Since that day, they have become the best of friends, and you can tell that there is such a strong comfort they feel around each other. He protects her, keeps her safe, holds her tight, is her best friend, and she his. This was so clear during our engagement session at Raymondskill Falls in Milford, PA. I love shooting at this place! We started out by the upper falls, and they weren’t afraid to get in the water. Luckily it’s really shallow at the base of the falls so we could walk around a little bit! Shoes off please! After the main waterfall we took quite the hike down to the bottom of the trail where the creek is, it was getting dark pretty quick in the shade of the trees but we got some beautiful shots of them dancing, cuddling under the blanket and loving each other gracefully and quietly. That’s the type of love they share. It’s quiet, it’s honest, it’s humbling. You can just tell, being around them that either of them would do anything for the other one. They share a deep love for each other’s families and are so eager to have everyone they love together in one room for the wedding! I equally can’t wait to be surrounded by their friends and family and know that it’s going to be a day full of incredible memories that are going to last a lifetime.
How adorable are these two? Love this waterfall!
So sweet!
I love this one! You can just tell how much Tom admires her, and of course, how much she does right back!
This rock is right on top of the lower falls and Tom decided to tell me after he was sitting there that he was afraid of heights! Sorry Tom! [Don’t worry we were still a safe distance away! =)]
Love these shots! I love when my couples don’t mind getting their feet wet! Literally! So much fun playing in the w Winnie the Pooh posing at it’s finest! Always my favorite shots!! Love this ring! I don’t know if this was on purpose but they totally wore Islanders colors! Which I would have never known if they hadn’t also brought their Islanders jersey’s haha!
After the main waterfall we went down to the creek as the sun was setting!
I love this shot!!
Cuddling with only the coolest blanket ever.
Dayra and Thomas, I can’t wait to celebrate with you two next year! I had such a blast hiking and exploring the waterfall with you two and am so glad we got to document these beautiful memories together. Thank you so much for taking me to dinner! It was so great getting to know you better!
