How We Met
The night we met, neither of us had any interest in dating.
Brandon had just come from a truly awful date — the kind you laugh about later because it’s so unbelievably bad — and he was literally deleting every dating app from his phone when I walked in.
And me?
I was four days out of a major surgery, exhausted, swollen, and absolutely not in the headspace to go anywhere. My girlfriends practically shoved me out the door. I showed up reluctantly, thinking I’d stay ten minutes at most.
But the second I walked in, our eyes met.
And that was it.
It wasn’t dramatic — it was just this instant “Oh… there you are.”
A recognition more than a spark.

As a wedding photographer of 12 years, I’ve told so many people’s stories, and now I finally get to have mine told
I wanted to give florists and photographer an opportunity they don't often get when they are standing on the threshold of their own blossoming businesses.
