Sometimes, we should really listen to our parents.
When I was a teenager, I was the type of person who heard her parents impart some wisdom and then went off to do exactly the opposite. I mean, what did my parents know, right? I was a complicated, independent, almost-adult who didn’t need to be hovered over by protective parents. I was sure I knew it all.
Luckily, Jared and Christiane realized that Jared’s dad, Rusty, might be on to something when he told Christiane, “You really need to meet my son.” And instead of doing exactly the opposite, they decided to trust “Pops” and meet each other. So, they met. They spent time together playing music. They bonded over their love for the beach. They hung out with each other’s families. And somewhere in the course of having fun and getting to know each other, they fell in love. I had the pleasure of photographing Jared and Christiane for their engagement session, on a beautiful autumn afternoon. (On the beach, of course.)
I can’t wait for the wedding next year!Â
