Tell me your love story, and I’ll show it to you in photographs | San Francisco Engagement Session

I love people’s love stories.

I think they’re messages of inspiration that say, “No matter what cray-cray is going on in our world, love still exists.”  It blossoms and thrives where and when we least expect it.

Take Nick and Brittany here, for instance.  If you ask them how they met, they’ll tell you that they met in college.

But if you press Nick for more details, he’ll give you the WHOLE story…his perspective, of course.

The story, the tidbits, and the memories all came flooding out…just like sunshine.  It was clear to me they light each other up.

I loved capturing Brittany and Nick’s love story in these photographs, but this is just a hint of what they are like together.   Real love in a real love story.  {swoon}
