It happened over a bowl of pho.

I watched as he anxiously fidgeted with his chopsticks, then the napkin, and take a sip of water. He cleared his throat. I grinned. I had known Jeffrey since high school, and I had never seen him as such a nervous wreck. But then again, I had never seen him smitten before. Our food arrived and we chowed down. Well, I chowed down. Jeffrey talked.. and talked… and talked about this mythical creature. I imagined something of a mermaid or an angel. Maybe a unicorn.

I leaned on my elbows and went into Eva Chan, MD mode. As in Doctor Looooooove. I’d like to think what emerged was this mind-blowing fount of wisdom, but I suspect it was more of a feminine and slightly hyper version of Asian Dr. Phil.

I’m not sure how amazing my advice-giving was, but a year later over dinner, I was introduced to Karla by a beaming Jeffrey. The man was literally unable to sit still because he was so excited. And who could blame him? She’s his angel.

Karla and Jeffrey, it has been such a blast hanging out with you guys. I have never in all the years I have known Jeff, seen him so happy. When a couple is so in love, I believe my job as a photographer is to just get out of the way. You guys radiate happiness, and it’s infectious.

Doesn’t she have the most gorgeous eyes and hair?

This is the Jeff that I know and love. Couldn’t help but sneak a shot in

Positively angelic.

Much love to you both.

xox,

Eva
