You never really know what to expect when meeting couples together for the first time. But MJ and Dave are just…MJ and Dave.
Their love is simple. Joyful. Silly. And fun. I should’ve guessed – after all, they planned a video-game picnic, vintage video game system in tow. Cute, eh? Dave’s into sports and MJ loves the shooters (a girl after my own heart). Best idea of the day: “Hey, let’s plug the TV into the tree!”
But when Dave broke into song and serenaded MJ right in the middle of QE Park, it was the most romantic thing. Or as they dubbed it: “romantical“. Sidenote: I’m going to have to steal that word.
Who’s got the upper hand in the relationship now? Hint: It’s the girl with the gun. Good thing you guys are on the same team – and for the record, you guys make the best team.
They danced like no one was watching.
It was time for an outfit change – MJ rocked out a maxi dress. That girl’s got style! And Dave was comfortably chic – which I think is always the best look for a guy.
MJ: you are absolutely gorgeous, and you have the most amazing smile. I cannot wait for everyone to see you on your wedding day.
Near the end of the session, MJ and Dave decided to get back into their first outfits to take a “stroll” through the fountain. Y’know – in lieu of having photos of them frolicking in a field, which is kind of cheesy. So let’s just drop all the engagement session pretense and just have some fun, ‘kay? ‘Cause that’s what love’s really about.
All I could think watching them was “This is the most perfect metaphor for love.” That, between laughing out loud watching them get soaked. Hey, what’s spending your whole life with someone if you can’t make them laugh? MJ and Dave have got it down pat.
Thanks MJ and Dave for such a great time – your infectious personalities were such a joy to be around. See you again in August!
