This week’s couple is Mara and Chris.  They met online and started dating  right before the pandemic.  They got along great and felt very comfortable with each other.  They were lucky enough to find each other and put on no airs. They put on no airs, drank some beer and played video games they both love and hunkered down together.  The more time they spent together the more they felt they were meant for each other and finally one of them said I love you.  Which is a big word to throw out there and show what is in your heart.  The feeling was mutual and two people admitted they love each other.

They contacted me  a while back but we could never find a good time to connect.  After a couple of texts and emails we agreed on time for their engagement session.  The day came and I saw Mara come in hot putting on her makeup and Chris driving them in the park early in the morning. 

We greeted each other and made introductions since this was the first time we had seen each other in person.  We shook hands and made our introductions. The sun was coming up and I showed them why we got up this early.  The early morning light is so underrated.  I would point at the rays of light going across the park and say that is where we are shooting. I am no Vermeer but I know good light when I see it. Since it was early in the morning the sun was low and gave this beautiful ring of romantic light to Mara and Chris. 

As we walked around the park I asked a couple of probing questions that I don’t think that anyone has asked them before.  I asked them who said “I love you first”?  That is a big one to leave hanging out there.  I also asked them what is their favorite trait that they see in each other.  They are probing questions that can not be answered with a yes or no.  They make you think and make you vulnerable to the person you are talking about.  They were amazingly candid and thoughtful in their answers. 

When you are an Atlanta wedding photographer you get to meet so many wonderful people.  You see how people fall in love in so many ways.  Sometimes they are overcome with emotion and fall in love at first sight or they start out as friends and grow in love over time.  Each couple's relationship is unique as a snowflake that should be appreciated in their singularity.  Each one is a serendipity and should be cherished.
