Favorite Part of the Day • PULLING OFF THE SURPRISE OF A LIFE TIME FOR OUR PARENTS
Working with these two was a blast. Not only was I stoked to get to lead a shootout for an urban couple shoot for such an amazing conference like Reset, I was stoked at how amazing my models were and the fun group of people I got to work with! I just wanted to share a few of my favorites. This couple is special in that they really give back to the community in focusing on marriage. They have a page and a mission called Married Young 101 - you can find this page on Facebook. Their about section says this: "Inspiring and encouraging God-Fearing marriages and relationships across the globe with unique style, and truth! We Are Married Young 101."
And trust me, with the love they share, they will always be young at heart and in love year after year. It's so evident in how they love each other. I didn't honestly have to do much directing... these two just have the real deal in spades.
And lastly, I scoped out the area a little when we first got there before my shoot. Found this amazing colorful wall mural that matched not only Quinton's musical shirt but Sherrelle's beautiful bold lip color! Um, serendipity much you think? Couldn't have been one bit better. Love this job. Love crafting this art and skill, what an honor it is - what we get to do as photographers...
Thank you to all who came out, what a fun day and amazing conference!! <3
