I like the title. I imagine finding a beautiful moment after the apocalypse.

Awesome...so glad this one ribboned! I'm guessing this is one this couple will treasure for a long, long time.

Thank you as always for your insightful comments. We were here for a big Family Photoshoot and this couple were recently engaged, they seemed a little bit awkward in front of the camera at first. If you’ve ever done portrait shoots you’ll know that a really good way to make people laugh is to just get them to look at each other. You will 99.9% of the time receive some sort of reaction, this guy took the cake.
