THE 

JOURNAL

Back in February we held our annual Valentine’s Day Giveaway where we offer up a 30 minute session with us and makeup by my dear friend Shi of VAMP. We ask couples to enter by leaving a comment on our giveaway blog post about their favorite Valentine’s Day memory with their significant other and then use randonm.org to choose our winner! For this year Michelle and her hubby Manny were the winners!! Here’s what her favorite memory was:

“My favorite Valentines Day…or I should say weekend was one in 2013. My then boyfriend took me to my favorite getaway spot, Galena, and planned an entire weekend for me that ranges from snowboarding (my very first time), fancy dinner, and shopping! BUT my favorite surprise of that weekend happened on the 15th, when he asked me to be his wife! Truly the best Valentines weekend, and definitely one I will never forget!!”

We had SO much fun with these two in Uptown! We spent time getting to know both of them and their love story which is oh so inspiring and full of God’s grace and guidance. They have been married a year and a half and what’s so cool is five days after their wedding they up and moved to Charlotte from Chicago for fun! They didn’t have a particular reason to move there, they just did and completely love it!! I’m seriously swooning over these two and the session that we had with them! One reason that I love this job so much is that we get the chance to meet so many amazing couples and Manny and Michelle are definitely that!!

Anniversary sessions are something that are near and dear to my heart! We love weddings so much but being able to get with a couple who has been married for a bit and celebrate with them and where they are in that moment in time, makes me so excited!

Enjoy some favorites from Manny and Michelle’s session!!
