Beautiful location with a beautiful couple.
I have a suspicion they like traveling to beautiful locations. Once headed out to Smithfield Station I met up with Ashley and her fiancé Gerry who just happened to be leaving on deployment a few days after. My heart goes out to them as they had to put up with me in their cherished moments together.
I love what I do though and glad I got the chance to meet you both.
(One of my favorites!)I had an idea that it would be more personable to hear from those I photograph. Here is their story of how they met in Ashley’s words.
"Our story" isn't the most glamorous, but we actually met when we were both down at the Outer Banks for the weekend. He was on a training trip and was supposed to leave on Friday Morning to return to VA. We met on Thursday night and instead of going back to VA to spend his birthday weekend with his friends, he and a couple of the other guys decided to stay in the Outer Banks to celebrate and to spend the weekend there instead. We hung out every day and night that weekend and have been inseparable ever since! One of the guys he was with actually ended up marrying one of the girls I was with for the weekend that I've known since elementary school.
He asked me to marry him in February when we were in Salt Lake City for the weekend. We are getting married next April in the Bahamas....One joke we had going for a while is that we'd never met anyone with the "same eyes" which I guess you could say is what drew us together in the first place...
Congratulations to you both! My prayers are with you until you are together again.
