How It All Began
Five years ago, Raylin and Doug’s story began through mutual friends. Doug thought Raylin was undeniably cute, while Raylin found herself drawn to Doug’s laid-back charm and love for sports. Their connection grew naturally over six months of friendship, with conversations that flowed easily and laughter that came effortlessly. Finally, after their fourth date, Doug asked Raylin to be his girlfriend over dinner—it just felt right. From that moment on, their love story began to blossom, eventually leading to the next chapter of their lives.
Building a Life Together
Two years into their relationship, Raylin and Doug decided to move in together. Their home quickly became a place filled with love, laughter, and the playful energy of their beloved Austrian Shepherd, Winston. Whether it’s hiking scenic trails, spending days at the beach, or simply relaxing at home, Winston has become the heart of their little family, making every moment more special.
The Proposal in Cabo
When the time came to propose, Doug wanted to create a moment Raylin would never forget. During their first vacation together in Cabo, he planned a surprise photoshoot with a photographer to capture the big moment. As the waves crashed against the shore and the sun painted the sky with hues of gold, Doug dropped to one knee mid-photoshoot. Overwhelmed with emotion and tears of joy, Raylin happily said yes, marking the start of their forever.
Shared Passions and Everyday Joys
Life outside their relationship is a balance of demanding careers and cherished moments with friends and family. Despite their busy schedules, Raylin and Doug make the most of their time together, whether it’s enjoying tequila nights with friends, taking Winston on outdoor adventures, or unwinding with their favorite TV shows. Their shared love for reality dating series like Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum, along with sitcom classics like New Girl, The Office, and Modern Family, adds a lighthearted touch to their everyday life. Inspired by Gordon Ramsay’s culinary creations, they even experiment with new recipes in the kitchen—some more successful than others!
Capturing Special Moments Together
I’ve had the privilege of capturing some of Raylin and Doug’s most cherished memories, including their breathtaking engagement photoshoot along the stunning California coast. The sunny day, ocean breeze, and vintage blue Porsche 356 Speedster created the perfect backdrop, adding elegance, character, and timeless charm to each frame. The energy between them was undeniable—filled with laughter, stolen glances, and joyful moments that radiated pure love. To celebrate the occasion, we popped a bottle of champagne, toasting to their future together and the exciting journey ahead.
Looking Ahead to Their Wedding
Now, as Raylin and Doug prepare for their wedding later this year, I am beyond excited and honored to capture their special day. Having witnessed their love story firsthand, I know their wedding will be a celebration filled with heartfelt moments, joyful laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t wait to see the next chapter of their story unfold and to be part of the day they say “I do.”
