Brian and I met 8 years ago at my first sales meeting with Thomson Learning. Brian lived in Boston and I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At a summer sales meeting in Chicago, Brian and I were looking out the window at an event we were at one night and there were a bunch of trampolines. Even though it was pouring down rain, we both looked at each other said let's go. We ended up jumping on the trampolines in the pouring down rain. Soaking wet in our work clothes, we had to climb back on the bus with all of our co-workers to head back to the hotel. We dated for about a year on and off after that. After a year of dating, we realized that the long distance thing would not work. However, we stayed really good friends. We never went more then a week without talking on the phone. At another sales meeting again in Chicago 4 years later, Brian basically told me that he could not live without me. He then invited me to Germany to visit some of his friends. We started dating again and then I moved to Boston a few months later. We got engaged 3 months after I moved to Boston. Brian and I were best friends for so many years, that living together now seems so easy! We are truly sole mates!
** Photographer's Note:
Last weekend I had the priviledge of attending Michelle's wedding shower which is where I shot these photos of her and Brian. I usually like to schedule an engagement session with each couple, but in Michelle and Brian's case there was not enough time before they had to return back to work and back to Boston!
I didn't even know I would be seeing Brian on the evening of the wedding shower, but he stopped by that night after finishing a round of golf with Michelle's Dad. These shots are a true testament to the great sport that Brian is: Even though he was sweaty and tired from a day of golf, he ran his fingers through his hair, announced to me (jokingly) that he looked great, and readily agreed to pose for me when I told him that we were doing his engagement session on the spot!!
The love that is shared beween Michelle and Brian is obvious when you notice how they interact with each other. They are always laughing and they have such a laid back style and attitude. These are the things that let me know these two people will spend a long, happy life together!
Michelle and Brian will become husband and wife on June 28, 2008. The wedding and reception will be held at the Tamaya. Maid of Honor is Jessica Riley, Michelle's lifelong best friend and Best Man is Patrick Downey, the Groom's brother. Michelle and Brian are looking forward to sharing their special day with many friends and family members from across the country.
I'm excited to see them again at the Tamaya, and plan to get some amazing shots during their wedding!
