I shot this same sex engagament session quite a while ago but only now it finds its way onto my blog. Giovanni originally is from Peru, Nick from the US. They met in college while living in South Florida, where they became close friends but only after Geo’s aunt asked if they were boyfirends they realized that they are actually in a relationship.

When Nick had to move to Texas for work it turned into a long distance relationship. At one of the many visits Nick proposed to Geo. During a walk in a park Geo saw the ring and looked nervous and confused at Nick who said “Why are you looking so nervous? Did you really think I wasn’t going to marry you?”

They now live together in Texas and when they visited Peru they decided to have their engagement photos taken in Lima.

The Blog Gay Weddings by weddingwire wedding blog that published their photos writes “One of the things Nick and Geo really enjoyed about their photo session with Maik in Lima, Peru was that he made them feel comfortable and natural. He took the time to give feedback. Even though they were a gay couple, he didn’t treat them any differently. They highly recommend, for best results, to be natural and have fun.” The photos were also featured on the same sex wedding blog For Real Equality Weddings

So far the wedding planning is pointing towards a destination wedding on Jamaica where they try to combine elements from  both of their cultures, Jamaican and Peruvian.
