Sofia contacted me in early April of this year about taking vintage style photos of her and her husband, Brian, in May. He returned from deployment the day after I consulted with her at Starbucks and after meeting her, I knew that I wanted to be a part of their story.
The couple got married in Seattle, WA in July of 2011. Originally from Seattle, Sofia was very pleased to be able to plan the wedding by her sweetie’s side here on the east coast, while her family helped out on the west.
Brian & Sofia met through mutual friends while Brian was in the Air Force and kept in touch no matter where their journey’s took them. Eventually, while both residing in Washington, D.C., they took their friendship to the ‘next level’.
After a proposal in Napa Valley…what’s a girl to do?
Working with the couple really rekindled for me what the definition of true love is. They are like best friends and lifelong loves. Funny & playful and, not to mention, probably one of the most photogenic couples I have ever had the privilege of shooting.
While Brian continues serving, in the Marines, the two enjoy a cozy life in the beautiful town of Surf City, NC. A lovely place for photos!
I am hoping that in the future I will have the opportunity to work with them again.
Wishing them all the best!
