They’re married!!! You know those couples that just seem meant to be? Yeah, that’s Alia and Justin.
They met in high school and Justin developed a huge crush on Alia (his first real crush, he says)….but he never told her. After school, they fell out of touch and then, a while later, randomly ran into each other at a bar in Milwaukee one evening. Justin still had a crush on Alia and still didn’t tell her. They fell out of touch, again. And then, four years later, completely unintentionally, they ended up moving into the very same apartment complex in Madison, Wisconsin. After bonding over their love of pugs and regular HBO-watching get-togethers, things clicked into place and they started dating seriously. Perfect, right? Not quite. Justin was scheduled to move across the country to San Francisco in a matter of months. They tried to make the relationship work long-distance but it got too hard and they broke up. And then….this is so serendipitous…Alia called Justin out of the blue and said she was moving to San Francisco: she had been offered a transfer within her job to move to the Bay Area.
And the rest is history. It must be true: some things are just meant to be. Like Alia and Justin. Married.

This really is such good work! I hadn’t looked at your images in awhile, so call me impressed! The details, spontaneity, color quality and overall documentary feeling of how you compose your images is so appealing—yet it’s all really pretty, too!
I can see why you won the distinction among San Diego photogs and why people are so happy to have you capture their special day. Yay!
Hi Jena! Justin is laughing so hard and i’m crying! We LOVE the slideshow and sneakpeak. It is all so wonderful. Thank you so much (tear)
