Boy was this engagement session paradoxical; in one sense it was a very cold and frigid one; yet in another, warm and amorous.
Despite the constant relentless chilling winds that brushed against our vulnerable faces, the warmth that exuded from Vanessa and David’s love, was enough to repair our numb and fragile toes. ; )
If it weren’t for their joyful spirits and indignation to endure the bitter cold temperatures, these photos would not have turned out so beautifully and sweet as they did.
Before I share some more photos I’d like to introduce you to this neat couple that refused to succumb to the ruthless weather Jacksonville presented itself to us on Sunday early evening.
Vanessa and David met at a UNF lab course studying to become Physical Therapists. For a long while, Vanessa was the least bit interested in David; however, David had his eye on her and waited patiently for her to come to her senses…LOL. Although attending the same lab class, it wasn’t until Vanessa realized they shared a mutual enjoyment for surfing, that peaked her interest in David. I liked it when Vanessa professed to me, “Here all this time the perfect man for me was right under my nose and I didn’t even know it!” …I think it’s more like “above my nose!” HA HA.
After three years of dating, they became engaged. I’m sure there’s more to their relationship, but I think the three of us were rather eager to retire to our heated cars, than to finish up with their story. Yeah, it was THAT bitter cold out! But I must admit, I truly enjoyed photographing them on the island and look forward to their wedding in April.
David and Vanessa’s song is: Lucky by Jason Mraz. I thought it appropriate to use their special song for their slideshow.
