I love this couple, because I love Tira. I met Tira at a WPPI Road Trip in Orange County, in the bathroom of all places. We are both the type to chit chat to random strangers, so we naturally got along perfectly. We have been good friends ever since.

One of the mysteries for both of us, has always been that we had never met each other’s husbands. We joked that they didn’t actually exist. But alas, one day, a couple of weeks ago, I drove up to Upland to photograph Tira and her David.

Tira and David have been married for 11 years. During that time, they have traveled, seen each other thru all sorts of challenges and most of all laughed with each other, a lot. David has supported Tira through the start of a successful photography business and really has been a solid rock of support for my dear friend. David, is especially awesome! It was such a joy photographing the two of them, between all their flirtation and giggles.

One of my favorite things about photographing couples is that I get to capture how absolutely adorable they are and how they love on each other. If you know Tira, then you know her insatiable laugh. I love it, so I am sure it’s one of David’s favorite things about her.And then we ventured to a fun location to catch some beautiful amber light just before the sun went down. 

Tira, I am so thankful for you and that you are in my life right now and that we get to be friends. I thank God for you! And it was a true honor to capture your love!
