Nothing is made, nothing disappears.
The same changes, at the same places, never stopping.”
― Dejan Stojanovic
The Shape
I've been having a few conversations about life and growing old and jumping off to new adventures lately and these conversations always leave me thinking long after the moment is done.
Life is constantly moving and places are perhaps the silent witnesses to life's lows and highs and the beautiful moments in between. There are places that do not leave any impression at all, and then there are those that tug at your heartstrings and beg you to slow down, sit awhile, and even put down roots.
Coming here has allowed me to cross paths with wonderful people who have chosen to put make their homes in a foreign land and made it their own with beautiful moments, memories and hopes for the future and their stories are changing the way I view the world and the very concept of home.

“It's a funny thing, how much time we spend planning our lives.
We so convince ourselves of what we want to do,
that sometimes we don't see what we're meant to do.”

I met Gino and Eva on the day of the shoot and immediately thought, "These two are going to make cute babies together!" I got the feeling that they didn't exactly see this relationship coming, but am pretty sure it's one for the books. Don't you just love how some love stories are like that? Couples go for YEARS, and I mean YEARS before tying the knot, and then you have those who meet and fall in love and that's it, wedding bells and everything that goes with it.
Love can be unpredictable like that.
Love can be, yes indeed, sir, very much like a girl with PMS. Not a very romantic analogy (haha!) but there it is. I loved shooting this couple, they make such a pretty pair. And the venue! I wished we had more light that day, no rain showers, more sun, more time! The venue was gorgeous, with a winding asphalt road that curves through the entire area, a field of pink and white bougainvilleas, a charming little chapel and the most beautiful view of the sea. There was no better place to take their photos.
