It was nothing out of the ordinary. A beautiful couple in search of a wedding photographer. "Sure, that's what I do, let's meet." So, far off the beaten path down A1A in Melbourne Beach, I make the turn. And I'm stopped dead in my tracks. Can't go any further. I get out of my car & look around. It feels like a dream. I've been here before..........in my dreams. As a little southern girl growing up in the smallest town in Georgia, I'd always dreamed of living in "tropical" Florida. (I'd never been futher than North Florida at the time, so what did I know about the "tropics"?) Anytime our relatives from Florida visited, usually in the wintertime for the holidays, I couldn't get over how they smelled fresh, like oranges and the ocean. Their kids had golden hair and tans and it was winter! Exotic! We south Georgia girls were pale, gangly, & I was the lucky one with freckles & mousy brown hair. Eeek!
For a number of years in my very young adult life, I would have a recurring dream of driving down a road exactly like the one pictured. I've always loved that dream & now I am so thankful to be capturing Roxana & David's wedding pictures at their beautiful location. After our meeting, I left believing you're both as special as your road! You obviously are one of those meant to be couples. And I'm sorry I was a few minutes late. I had to have a moment with your road.
Roxana & David, I can't wait to capture your memories for you. I know they are going to be special. You're beautiful together.
