Vanesa and Brian’s love story is as charming as Vanesa and Brian’s love story is as charming as they are. They first crossed paths in college and quickly hit it off and started dating shortly after. Despite the miles between them during their 3-year long-distance relationship that followed after college, they kept their connection strong with a heartwarming ritual: every goodbye was marked with dramatic air kisses and a playful Korean hand heart. When Brian shared this sweet detail during our proposal planning session, I knew I had to capture that special moment on camera. Isn’t that the cutest thing ever? Do you and your partner have any unique rituals or special moments that make your love story one-of-a-kind?
