Big emphasis on ‘significant’.  Andy is the mega to my byte.  He is my better half.  The calm to my storm yet the fierce rush my heart demands.  I think he is just as beautiful as the first night I laid eyes on him.  At his best friends house – I finally got up the nerve to go meet him.  We had talked on the phone for weeks, and I admit, I made up a few excuses to meet him before that night.  I was nervous, and he was sincere.  A huge change in my life and I questioned the rush of emotions I was feeling.  As 2am was approaching, I had to leave and take my friends back to their car.  Friends who were nice enough to go with me the first night I met this crazy beautiful man from the internet.  “Will you come back tonight, after you drop them off?”  Um, I’m not sure what kind of girl he thought I was, but absolutely not.  OK, so I jumped the gun and assumed he was being rude, but he wasn’t at all.  Instead, I went back the next night, and every night after that.  I couldn’t stay away, and now I tell him he’s stuck with me.

He had told his Mom and friends before we had even talked for the first time that he was going to make me his.  He saw me on our friend’s online profile, a mutual friend, whom we are following to the beach in just a few weeks to photograph and DJ his wedding.  I’m rather excited to see this come full circle, and after 4 years, he’s still making me his.  Gladly, and whole heartily.  I adore him – simple as that.

These are just some simple portraits I took this evening.

    Stacey, I SO admire your work and you as a person – even though I just know you from your blog. I guess I’m a blog stalker! :) I’m an aspiring photographer and come to your blog every couple days to see if you’ve posted anything new. I love your style.

    Love this post. Your husband is beautiful (and so are you). And what a sweet story. May you all have many, many years to come together.
