Hi Friends!!

Oh how my heart could not be more full after spending time with these two. It is always an interesting thing when we meet couples for the first time. Especially over coffee, it often feels like a blind date. Where you are waiting for the couple to arrive, and over the sea of people, figure out who each other is. When Kim and I were sitting in Alons waiting for these two to arrive, taking our guess at who they might be, trying to make eye contact with each couple as they walked in, nope not them, oh maybe them, nope… then in the midst of the new flood of folks rushing in for the lunch hour was a hat who stood taller than the rest, floating by with a smile and hidden behind the wine was the sweetest little lady i have met. They introduced each other and smiled and laughed, and oh how they laughed. Easily putting any nerves aside, so we could get to know each other. and when Jianbo shared that “while looking through your photos, I can instantly feel my stress melt away”… and well, instantly made this photographers heart melt. Their engagement session was nothing shy of a fun adventure. Laughing and playing…. they are two people crazy in love, who also make room to embrace and love others. They see the beauty in everything around them, and their lightheartedness is contagious. I adore them, and adore these photos, and so thankful to share them with you. 

Jianbo and Mark, ahhh! So excited for the wedding in just a few short weeks! We are beyond thrilled to be a part of such a fun time for you guys. 

Joy!

alea
