I am so lucky and privileged to have met this couple! Jorri and Carlos won a gift certificate at a community event where they lived that I had donated to and it is only by luck that we met! We met at a park in Logan and got started and had some great fun along the way. They were the sweetest couple and their personalities shinned during the session.
I ADORE the moment when clients are able to come out of their shell and you can see their true self and how much they love one another. I also love getting to know my clients a little before the session and in between walking to the next location and these two have an amazing story how they met! To make sure I got it perfect, Jorri was more than happy to share their story with me :) - "Carlos and I met way back when I had the chance to go on a humanitarian trip to Guatemala in high school and he was helping our group out with translation. I liked him a lot right away and was pretty pleased when he kept talking to me after I got home! We stayed in touch over the next few years as he served a mission and I went through my first year of college. The best birthday present I ever got was when he and my mom coordinated a surprise visit for my 20th birthday. He showed up at the Christmas lights at Temple Square and the rest is history! We went through a lot of struggles together figuring out how to make things work when we were countries apart, but in March of 2015 we finally got married in the Brigham City Temple. We currently live in Aggie Village on the campus of Utah State University and we love it! I'm working as a social worker for the state and Carlos is finishing his degree in computer science while working as a programmer. We aren't really sure where life will take us next but we're excited to figure it out together!" How adorable is that?! That would be so hard to have a long distance relationship THAT far away! Even though they were basically worlds apart, their hearts were still with each other. I am SO glad I got to meet and work with this tender couple and I wish them the best for their future!
