They met online. He read her profile and took the chance that she might be interested in getting to know him. Little did they know they would be a perfect fit. He had always dreamed of being a doctor one day too, and she loves a man in uniform.
Just a short year ago, as a Captain in the Air Force Brian was preserving our freedom and safety from terrorists in the middle east while Sara, a small animal vet, was saving the lives of some of our furry fellow Americans back home. Little did they know that in less than a month the Veterinarian and the decorated war Veteran would meet and soon fall head over heels for each other.
I have prayed for my sister’s future husband for years, and God has truly answered that prayer by bringing Brian into her life. She is a better person and a stronger Christian because she is with him. He encourages her and challenges her.
Two weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of shooting their engagement photos at the Miccosukee Greenway in Tallahassee, Florida. We planned to start an hour and a half before sunset, and when we arrived the sky was a gorgeous shade of baby blue with just a few clouds sprinkled around, the perfect canvas for a romantic engagement shoot. I had never been to the Greenway before, but I was instantly in love! I wish I could clone the gravel paths, rail fences, and wide-open fields bordered in live oaks and pines and transport them up to South Carolina.
Growing up as best friends, Sara and I have always had a special bond and rapport with each other, and Brian has been such a natural addition to our family that it’s like he’s always been a part. So they easily relaxed in front of my camera and even goofed off for me. I can’t wait to be in their wedding and watch as they start their new lives together and begin their family. God is good!
