Where do I begin? We clicked with these two. We clicked in a big way. Stephen called us up one day and let us know that he wanted to give his sweet wife a photo session for Christmas. They lived in Alabama and were headed to New England for his gift to her for Christmas, and a photo session with us would be icing on the cake. He said that he loved our work and they were believers as well, (in Jesus), and that it seemed like it would be a good fit. He was spot on. We parked the car and when we got out to get our gear situated, he walked up with his bride and said, “Are you Bethany and Dan, because I’m Stephen and this is Rebekah.” That was all it took really… we loved his big Texan style and her grace of a southern belle right then and there.
He is from Texas and She hails from Alabama, where the two live now. After a whirlwind, and I do mean whirlwind, of a romance, they were married and living life to the glory of God. It was so fulfilling to us to be with a couple, who like us, met and courted, knowing the path they were on was undoubtably marriage. Within 4 months of being engaged, (which was an EPIC engagement story by the way… involving her entire family and the 50 yard line in the stadium of “roll tide” Alabama), they were married. It’s fast and furious love stories like that which get me crazy excited, because I know what it’s like to know… to know immediately that you are in the presence of the one. The one you will love forever.
So enjoy our take on their love story. We hope these images will be a witness to you, of just how deeply they love one another.

I love the diverse shots in this post. The photo with the couple behind the glass bottles is so beautiful! I love it when someone finds a spot that is completley different. It adds a lot to the shot. Thanks for the lovely posts!
