When the Universe presents you the opportunity to watch a beautiful sunset… You better enjoy every second of it!

What would be better than freezing time and having a way of always looking back at the most important times of your life? I mean, nothing! ;) Seriously, we are so stoked to be sharing Jess and Katie’s session with you all! Their couple’s session was such a fun way to celebrate life and the present! We totally recommend everyone to get outdoors and enjoy a fun shoot with your favorite person! Photoshoots are nothing else than documenting something that you are living at the present moment and wish to keep it safe & not only in your memory. So thankful we can do that through photographs. We felt so honored to be a part of this shoot and loved capturing the beautiful young love these two share for one another! Jess and Katie are incredibly sweet humans and so fun to be around!!

We absolutely loved hiking Arabia Mountain with them. It was a gorgeous sunny day, we chatted about traveling, food, my second home in Brazil (Recife) which Katie has visited - “information that by the way, melted my heart when I learned of it”. And we got to see a beautiful sunset and have so much fun!

We are so happy they found each other! They share a little about themselves and the shoot below. Hope you’ll love their shoot as much as I do.

Cheers to love, coffee and happiness! <3

Katie makes me feel safe. She teaches me how to appreciate the fullness of life.

With her, I feel like I can be all facets of myself, and love others more fully. She’s exciting, hilarious, and crazy beautiful.

Did you like the location?

We loved it!

It was my first time there even though I’ve lived in Georgia my whole life. I liked that I was experiencing a new place and a new experience - having a photoshoot like that for the first time. - Katie

Such a beautiful place!! So perfect for a photoshoot, and also felt very peaceful. I felt so comfortable shooting there. - Jess

For recommendations... bring closed-toed shoes!

What was your most favorite part of the day?

After the photoshoot. I felt so light and free! So glad I got to share my love for Jess in such a unique way knowing that moment will be captured forever. We drove home with the windows down and music blasting! :) - Katie

During the photoshoot! Getting to be close to Katie, while experiencing the slightly buzzing feeling of being somewhat exposed was fun! Aline and Mihai made us feel so comfortable though. - Jess

How was your experience shooting with Aline & Mihai?

To be honest, I was really nervous to do a couples shoot because it’s something I’ve never done before. But Aline and Mihai had such a good energy right away that I felt like I could just be myself. And then, of course, I found out Aline is from Recife and I felt like we were FAMILY!! It was such a lighthearted, positive experience and I felt very at ease knowing Aline and Mihai know what they are doing and could help me not do weird things with my face. Lol. - Katie

Aline and Mihai are such lovely humans. From the moment we scheduled the shoot to waiting excitedly for sneak peeks, interacting with this couple and team feels truly special! Katie and I both felt so taken care of and trusted that the end result was going to be outstanding. They helped us at each moment, and directed us the whole time. We felt so comfortable...and had so much FUN! Getting to chat with them throughout and after was also so great. I for sure want to shoot with them again. - Jess
