I recently got to meet up with Rosario & Javier for a session celebrating their one year anniversary! What a wonderful idea. Not enough couples do this kind of stuff and I think that they should. And… not just to celebrate one year but 2 years, 5 years, 34 years, 50 years, etc… In fact, I think that the more years a couple is together, the more celebration that should be required.
ANYWAY! I had such a wonderful time wondering around Northern Liberties with these two. They were so fun and adorable together. Congrats Rosario & Javier!! Thanks for making my job so simple and such a pleasure. 🙂
It was a beautiful evening which made for dramatic shadows….
I can’t take full credit for this next image. I was inspired by another photographer that did this idea of the shadows dancing…though I am not sure who that photographer was. Also, I can’t help but think of Duane Michals’ (a photographic hero of mine!) “Chance Meeting” series too. Anyway, I couldn’t resist my interpretation when I saw their shadows on the wall. A little goofy, I know… but kinda fun, right? 😉
Both Rosario & Javier are Puerto Rican. Rosario is also Mexican. I love that they brought their flags as props. Oh, and they had these cute iphone messages too!
We stopped for some ice cream!
Did I mention that they also like Spanish dancing? Well, they do. They played some music on Rosario’s phone and then worked their moves. It was quite a show! I really enjoyed it!
We also got to play around with my Grandpop’s vintage camera. Javier & Rosario were the perfect mix of fun, romantic and authentic! An absolute pleasure.
