Monica & Todd are simply perfect together. I walked away from them feeling so good about everything and that all would be right in the world. They have known each other for SO long, like since they were playing together in nursery school… but not “boring” SO long… like they’ve been out there, they’ve seen things, they’ve done things, they’ve built their own lives, yet somehow merged them adorably, perfectly together. They were clearly brought back into each other’s life for a purpose and I know it will always have meaning to them. They are a really good reminder of why to get married, because you just love someone that much.
I had so much fun hanging out with them. I seriously should have followed them home for Todd’s Tacos. But it was about 90 degrees at 7:30PM and mama was not so smart and wore jeans and after climbing 6 stories to Trevor & Denise’s roofdeck, I just needed to go home and jump in the pool (which I did, after a brief pit stop in the old hood for a quick libation).
Anyway, the stars just sort of aligned with this. Months and months ago we had brunch at Trevor & Denise’s house and I got the idea that I’d love to shoot on his roofdeck (who wouldn’t) and also in his stairwell. I shot a few of Christofer, but then realized it wasn’t a setup for kids. So I tucked it away and the minute I heard Monica & Todd were engaged I knew I wanted to bring them there. So I basically hunted down Monica and haunted her on Facebook until she said yes! T&D left us the key, the weather was perfect, the light was yummy and voila!
I hope you love these as much as I do. I don’t work with adults very often, though it’s something I am exploring with a potential partner and we are both very excited by the prospects. I’d love to hear your thoughts on these… and leave this adorable couple some love!
