From Jaleen: Their story is so unique. I met them back in 2008. Valerie booked a photo shoot with me….it was to be of her and her boyfriend….but Jarrett called me a few days in advance and told me he planned on proposing to Valerie at the photo shoot, so he and I had our cues all set as to when he was going to drop down on one knee…and I caught the moment for them on film, it was fantastic. Two years later I was so excited to be their wedding photographer!
