Monique and Darrin's engagement was so much fun (especially since Monique did not know it was happening). And its a bit special as I know these two lovebirds personally. Its funny because I only met these people just over two years ago a winter getaway with friends. We walked in as strangers and five days later we walked out as the #framily.
Monique and Darrin have known each other since elementary school, but only started dating about four years ago while Monique still lived in Indiana and Darrin lived in Woodbridge. Soon after they started dating she moved to northern Virginia where she and Darrin grew up for a teaching job. Being around them all the time I knew Darrin wanted to pop the question, so we formulated a plan (along with the future Mrs. Mendez) to be my models for a competition I was entering.
Things were going really smooth till summer thunderstorms were in the forecast. As the original plan was take photos at a flower field. Knowing that this date was critical I decided that Wilkes Street Tunnel that would serve as a good rain location and still produce stunning photos. This was the outcome!
