South Mountain | Phoenix, Arizona Couples Shoot (Tyler & Asia)

“Our love story begins at our high school in 2006.

I spotted Tyler one day at lunch and instantly developed a crush, so I started asking around for his name. Once I got it, I friend requested him on Myspace (which still makes me laugh every time I think about it!).

After talking online and then meeting in-person, we clicked right off-the-bat. He became my first boyfriend and the first boy I ever kissed, but alas, we were just kids - and our first run at it didn’t last longer than a couple of months.

Over the years, we would see each other from time to time…”

Aurora Farms | Taylors, SC (Michael & Breia)

“Breia & Michael met on Instagram, where they were friends for a while, always liking one another’s pictures. One day, Breia posted a picture of Steph and Ayesha Curry, and though she forgets what the caption was, Michael liked it. She then came up with enough courage to DM him saying, “you would be BAE, if you didn’t live so far away.” From that moment on, they began exchanging messages, then phone calls, then dating…”

Charlotte, NC Engagement (Wes & Camilla)

“It all started when we both swiped right. After getting to know each other on the League, Wes asked me on our first date to Merchant & Trade, a rooftop bar in uptown Charlotte. I was excited he picked somewhere new and cool to try with beautiful views. Sure enough, Merchant & Trade didn’t disappoint, and neither did Wes. We talked for hours effortlessly on our first date over craft cocktails. The connection was there right from the beginning, and we both knew we wanted…”

View Point at Buckhorn Creek | Greenville, SC (Arlen & Katelyn)

“I had just moved back home to Greenville, having left a job in Miami, Florida. After being home for about a month, my good friend Alejandra and I, went downtown for a comedy show and decided to grab a few drinks afterwards. We walked into a taproom, and as we walked to get a drink, a guy called Alejandra's name and they gave each other a big hug. I could tell by their interaction that they were old friends. Arlen and I both stared at each other with a look of “who are you,” since we shared a mutual friend, yet we had never crossed paths. I had known Alejandra since we were teenagers. Our first initial impressions of each other when she introduced us were not the greatest, funny enough. Without even holding a conversation yet, he came across as very confident, but in a cocky way, and he thought I looked a little stuck up. We all decided to sit down together with the rest of our group, and we actually spent most of the night talking to just each other. As it turned out, neither of us were what we thought…ha! He let me know he…”

Twigs Tempietto | Greenville, SC (Josh & Savannah)

“Shortly after Savannah and Josh met, she forgot where she parked her car in Center City Philadelphia. After searching for the parking lot for an hour, Josh thought she was too mesmerized by their encounter to remember. However, after a couple weeks of dating, he quickly realized she is just forgetful. Two years after their introduction in Philadelphia, Josh got down, somewhere near that parking lot, on one knee to ask for Savannah’s hand in marriage…”

Cannon Green | Charleston, SC (David & Catherine)

“In April 2004, Catherine attended a pre-medical conference in New Orleans, sponsored by her college. David, a second year medical student at the time, caught glimpse of her standing in the lobby. Later that evening, they went for a walk on Bourbon Street, and David showed her around his college town. Being from different states and at different points in their lives, they never anticipated that they would be anything more than pen pals. To the contrary, they quickly found themselves attracted to each other and remained in touch over the ensuing years, making bicoastal trips to meet up…”
