When this couple inquired for me to do their engagement photos, I was ecstatic that they wanted to wear black and loved Halloween. Doing their photos in a cemetery was a must, especially since this session was around Halloween. The sultry, black dress of the lady and all black out outfit of the man made this engagement session fun and not the normal. I like shooting the non-trendy engagement sessions and capturing their personalities.
From day one this couple has had the best sense of humor. We did their engagement photos pre-pandemic; however, their wedding was during the pandemic. They made the most of it though and still celebrated their big day with family, laughter, and coronas.... see the pic below to see their funny outtake on drinking coronas, during the corona. That picture in particular showcases their fun, outgoing personalities. Scroll through the pics below to see how gorgeous their day was.
Every time I have been to Miami, I usually have to make a pit stop at this bathroom and there are usually homeless people around it. These restrooms are someones shower, bathroom, and place to rest. Imagine if that was how you and/or your family had to live. I know there is the argument that they can better themselves, but that's not the case for everyone. I think about the homeless people walking around with severe mental health issues that masks their pain with drugs or that maybe had a childhood so bad that they just needed a little bit of love throughout their life. Now, at least it doesn't get freezing in Miami; however, can you imagine the summers and how dehydrated you would get from being homeless in 100 degree weather.
There is homeless issues all around our country and I don't know why this situation in particular made me feel the need to blog about it, but it did. When I think of wanting more materialistic things or upgrades that I stress myself out about, I try think of this right here. There will always be someone out there wishing they could live your life and have the things you currently have. Be grateful for what you have because there is someone out there that has it worse than you do.
