Meet Naomi & Aldrin!
Naomi met Aldrin on a trip to the beach with mutual friends. As the group gathered to head out for the day, Aldrin slid into the back of the car next to Naomi. She had a mouth full of Chick-Fil-A and held her hand out to greet him, which was certainly a unique first encounter. As funny as their first meeting was, it sparked a flame that burns even brighter today.
I always get incredibly nervous before any photo session, despite the years of experience, and I was unsure of what to expect. I had only spoken with Naomi via email but as soon as they approached us, they both gave off such great energy! Naomi and Aldrin have the fun, easy going personalities that makes you think you've been friends all along, even if you've just met them.
Within minutes, we were smiling and laughing with each other. The first black and white image is one of the first frames we had taken of them both. Usually the first 15 minutes is spent getting used to each other and teaching poses. Although she had shared they may need help with posing, you would never have known it! Aldrin had his GQ face on and she always let her beautiful spirit shine. They are so aware of each other and connected so seamlessly. They both posed with such ease that after 30 minutes, they were doing it all on their own. I joked about even using them both as models for a future posing behind the scenes project. We had so much fun laughing and didn't even realize two hours had passed. We chatted about their upcoming wedding this December, saw dolphins swimming in the Chesapeake Bay and listened to stories they had created together.
Our time together only leaves me more excited about their winter wedding. These two are a force to be reckoned with and I am so excited to watch their journey unfold.
