Katie & Josh: A Love Story Worth the Wait

Some love stories feel effortless to tell—Katie and Josh are one of those couples. From the moment I met them, it was clear this wasn’t just another engagement session. This was something deeper. The kind of connection that makes you stop, smile, and think, “Yep. This is what it’s all about.”

They met on Hinge, but honestly? It feels like God had His hand on their story long before that app ever existed. Two hearts rooted in faith, drawn together not just by attraction, but by purpose. Katie is a regional manager for security and loss prevention at Target—smart, strong, and focused, with a quiet confidence that just commands respect. And Josh—man, this guy has a heart of gold. He spends his days serving the elderly in a nursing home, and when you’re around him, you feel that gentleness and patience in everything he does.

They’re the kind of couple that just makes sense. The way he looks at her? Like he’s looking at the rest of his life. The way she melts into his arms? Like it’s the only place she’s ever meant to be. It’s love—but it’s also trust, friendship, and a whole lot of laughter.

We shot their engagement at The Westin in Cape Coral, and I swear, the light showed up just for them. The wind danced in Katie’s hair. Josh couldn’t stop smiling. They made magic without even trying. And I just got to be there—capturing it all, quietly grinning behind the camera like a proud third wheel.

They’re tying the knot this July at Grace River Home, and I already know it’s going to be beautiful. Not just visually—but spiritually, emotionally. Two people, grounded in faith, promising forever. That’s powerful stuff.

Katie and Josh—thank you. Thank you for trusting me to tell your story. Your love is real, it’s honest, and it’s exactly the kind of love this world needs more of.

Can’t wait for July. Let’s make some magic.
