Netherlands Engagement Session – Renee and Joost
Engagement, Love, Stories Documented //
Way back in 2013, we received the sweetest email from Renee! Renee was one of my first-year residents when I was an RA at Bucknell University during my senior year (which was quite a few years ago!)… so you can imagine how excited I was to hear from her! She had been following along on our blog (which makes our hearts so excited to hear!) and she sent us a note to say hi!!! It was such a delight to hear from her! However, the best part of her email was her life update…
…As for myself, I have also made a bit of leap in the past year. After graduating from Bucknell – I started working at Merck pharma in NJ and lived in Hoboken. Although I loved living in Hoboken and getting to know NYC, after about 2 years I decided I needed to try a new adventure. So, in January I transferred to our company’s site in the Netherlands. I now live in the relatively small city of Nijmegen near the German border of the Netherlands. And what is most AMAZING about the story is that in the process, I met a dutch colleague who has now become my amazing boyfriend! I truly believe that sometimes life requires big jumps to have great things happen – very much what your life motto says!
Ahh! I have goosebumps just re-reading that!!! It makes my heart so happy to see Renee following her heart and seeing that beautiful smile on her face! I am so beyond proud of her! She is now engaged to that “dutch colleague,” Joost! ;) And we are so incredibly honored to be able to photograph this amazing time in their lives together!!!
We met up with Renee and Joost in their sweet city of Nijmegen in The Netherlands! What a special treat! Their hospitality was incredible and it was so much fun to explore with them! We felt right at home the entire time and absolutely LOVED hanging out with them!
Renee and Joost! Thank you so much for your AMAZING hospitality and for sharing Nijmegen with us! We had a blast and could not be more happy for you and your love! Thank you for following your hearts and being such a beautiful example of living out our favorite motto: “Life is an Adventure, make it AMAZING together!”
