You know the story - boy meets girl at summer camp. Boy and girl become friends. Boy and girl hold hands. Boy and girl are in lovvvvve. Boy and girl bid a tearful goodbye when their parents come to pick them up, but promise to call "5 times a day" and visit "every weekend (if my mom says it's cool)." Boy and girl go back to normal life. Boy and girl drift apart. Boy and girl break up on MySpace. Boy and girl's Summer fling has come to an end.
But what if the story had a different spin?
Boy meets girl at summer camp. Boy and girl become friends. Boy and girl hold hands. Boy and girl are in lovvvvve. Boy asks girl to marry him. Boy and girl become husband and wife. Boy and girl don't have to visit "every weekend" because boy and girl share a life together.
Meet Josh and Hannah (a.k.a. boy and girl :)). Indeed, they met at summer camp, but they defied the cliche - holding strong long after the "fling" phase passed.
Ben and I absolutely love these two. They are a couple of our greatest friends, and a total blast to be around. They have maintained a friendship at the foundation of their marriage, and I think that has a lot to do with how comfortable they are together. Jokes and laughter are consistent, as well as love and admiration. A beautiful blend. :)
Hannah won this session in our blog contest months ago, and we've been waiting for cooler weather to make it happen. It's November in Florida, so 65-70 is about as cool as we're going to get. :)
We were super stoked to photograph them together (especially knowing that they celebrated their 3 year anniversary in May and haven't had any updated photos since their wedding day!). The shoot was held at the place where their love began - Lake Aurora. :) This has become a frequent photo spot for us, so we tried to stretch our creativity by using some different scenery and ideas. Hannah and Josh made it outrageously easy with their willingness to do anything we asked, and their fabulous photogenic-ness (yep, photogenic-ness. It's a word. Really.).
Hannah and Josh - we love you both times 1000. You guys know how awesome we think you are. We hope you absolutely love these photos as much as we do - you are adorable together. :) (p.s. Josh, I was happy to see hardly any Chandler-esque moments when I scanned the batch. Well done. ;))
Laughter...I told you. :)
Ben snagged this fabulousness. It's in the running for my favorite of the day.
...annnnnd this one is up there too. :)
Um, hello - gorgeous.
I couldn't decide which one to post from these next two - I love both of them. So I posted both of them. :)
A little orange grove love. Being supermodels like it's their job.
:)
Amazing sky. Amazing field. Amazing couple.
Grabbing every last bit of gorgeous Florida sunlight.
You guys are the best! :)
