I was SO excited for this shoot. Probably because I hand-picked this couple out of the several stories that were submitted to my “show me your love” contest I ran last month :). I encourage you to go read Shandiin&Stefan’s story (in my words) HERE. While I had never met these two prior to their shoot, I already felt like I knew them. They had shared the details of their love story with me and I was blessed because of it. Meeting them in person blessed me even more! I knew the second I started shooting that I had chosen the right couple for this. They were so full of love, joy and laughter and they were so much fun to be around. They suggested we go to the Historic District in Glendale which I had never been to before. Oh my goodness. It was amazing. There was so much charm and character to the buildings, I could barely contain myself. Stefan&Shandiin, I am so grateful that you took the time to share your story with me and I love that God brought you both into my life. I hope that these photos have blessed you as you have blessed me :)
