We love stories. Every couple has one. One of our favorite parts about being wedding photographers is meeting with newly engaged couples for the first time and hearing theirs. The newness of it. The freshness of it. The excitement of it. We can’t get enough of it! But, at the end, our couples always ask, “What about you?” So, we decided to share our story, too. From the high school bleachers to the end of the aisle, here’s our story from “I noticed you” to “I do.”

Amy wanted to go to the homecoming dance with Jordan, but he didn’t ask her, and from the moment he saw her that night on the dance floor, he regretted it with each step of the music and every beat of his heart. He didn’t want to make the same mistake ever again, so he found her at an afterparty and made amends. They were inseparable from that night forward.
She turned around and walked up the driveway to her front door. She only got a few steps away when his heart voice cried out, “Wait! I forgot to give you something…” She stopped. Time stopped. She turned, and waited. The porch cast a shadow across her face and the night cast a shadow over his, but the streetlights provided a spotlight halfway between that beckoned them both to step into the moment. He moved toward her, and she toward him. His hands trembled from the cold as much as his nerves as he removed his signature backwards baseball cap. Her body tightened. His heart pounded so hard he thought it would burst out of his chest. Her heart pounded so loud she thought he could hear it. He was right in front of her. She was right in front of him. It was the moment they’d both waited for, but had evaded them for so long. He lifted one hand to her cheek. He lifted the other and set his hat on her head. He looked into her eyes. She looked back. His lips quivered, and so did hers. “I forgot to give you this,” he said. He pulled her in, and kissed her for the first time.
