I have a story to share that goes along with the photos of this adorable engaged couple getting married next year. When I met Alicia and Mark the first time they told me that they knew each other in elementary school but that Alicia had moved away and they didn’t get together until later in life . . . but Mark had a Valentine from her that he received in first grade. He proudly pulled the slightly tattered “Barbie and the Rockers” valentine out of his wallet and I saw Alicia’s young penmanship written on the back. Mark still carries it in his wallet today so I knew we’d have to incorporate it into their engagement shoot. We also had to go back to that old elementary school to snap some shots out front. After meeting with them that day I could see how proud he was to be marrying her and I was very excited to capture “their story” on film.
As the sun set and our session was nearing the end I felt incredibly lucky to witness their love for each other. They are so thoughtful and fun loving and I know their wedding next September will be full of good times. I will be excited to see how they incorporate that special little valentine into their wedding day. It’s such a unique token to their relationship showing that fate would bring them together someday. Now their someday has come and no one can argue that they are definitely meant for each other.
Thanks for capturing our love so beautifully! I can’t wait to shoot with you again on our wedding day. AWESOME WORK! :o)
