Allison and Haiden have known each other for years, because Haiden was her boss. Over that time they both were involved in relationships, serious and not serious. There was nothing between them - there couldn't be - and in addition to all that, they weren't always single anyway. Everything changed though a little over a year ago when they both were single, and Haiden was leaving his job to go do something else.
Read MoreThe first time Markus saw Michelle, she was seven lanes down at the bowling ally and he said "woah." This wasn't the first time he would meet her, it wasn't the last, but one thing that did happen? Absolutely nothing.
In the end, Michelle was - and still is - a killer bowler (as is Markus) and she even owns several 300 point games. But in this case, they became friends, but not super close friends. Fast forward a couple of years and a bunch of life changes, Markus would be walking out of Fred Meyer in CDA (which was weird for him because he lived in Spokane) and just so happen to walk by Michelle. They would talk and after standing there for about 30 minutes catching up, decide to go and get some food together.
Read MoreThe first time Jake saw Shelley, she caught his eye. He thought "no chance she's alone." of course, no one was with her at the time, but surely a guy would walk up at any moment. So he kept one eye on her as he browsed the farmers market downtown Coeur d'Alene. She would later make her way over to the Bouey to get a drink, and again, she was alone. Jake had a choice to make - man up and go talk to her - or leave. He decided to step out and try to talk to her, walking up and asking her if he could buy her glass of wine.
Read MoreI absolutely love doing engagement photos. Not just because engagement photos are fun (which they are) but because I love meeting my couples before their wedding day, working with them, getting to know them better. This is true of Kensi and Lewis, who got married just a couple of days ago! Yes, we did this shoot the week of their wedding, but it was worth it - rain and all - lots and lots of rain.
Read MoreBrittney and Tanner met because they have a mutual friend. In fact, they met and became acquaintances for a good while before they really met. That is to say, it wasn't uncommon for them to walk by each other on campus, but they never hung out. This was true for about a year until one of their mutual friends was having a going away party, and they were both invited. Turns out though, Brittney needed a ride, and so her friend said Tanner would be a good person to ask.
Read MoreRene and Nick have such a cool story. It didn't start out on an app - but it also didn't REALLY start in person either. It started because of Rene's aunt. It just so happened that her aunt was doing a lot of painting and so she would go into Nick's work quite often. It was here she noticed he was single and so she began to talk a lot about her beautiful niece. This was true as well when she talked to Rene about the "handsome guy at Sherwin Williams".
