I’ve tried, but I just can’t stop smiling looking through Emily + Justin’s session in a wildflower field at sunset. The golden light danced around them as they giggled together like young lovers do. Despite attending the same high school, they didn’t meet each other until they both ended up in Jamaica (she was on a mission’s trip, and he was visiting his sister who lives there.) They formed an instant friendship, and started dating soon after.

Whenever Steve got his hair cut at the salon, he looked forward to seeing the pretty, sweet stylist: Kait. After a while he asked her on a date, and they chatted non-stop for five hours swapping stories and perusing photos from Kait’s recent Argentina expedition.

To say this couple is adventurous is an understatement. Don't believe me? Their first date was in London, though neither of them lived there! They dated long-distance, across countries for almost a year.

There’s something so romantic about chance encounters that lead to love. When I listen to couples share their stories of this happening, I always marvel at them being in the same spot at the same time… Amanda and John struck up conversation one evening in Philly at a bar.
