Downtown Spokane Engagement Photos: Alex & Kristal
The first time they met they worked together. Alex didn’t' work the same shifts and Krystal, and so they didn’t actually see each other very much. Now you may not know this about Krystal, but she loves to talk to people and say hi to everyone. So when she said "hi" to alex as they passed each other on the shift change, he didn't really respond. He wasn't trying to be rude, he just didn't respond with the same energy that she had.
It was this interaction (and some other things she had heard at work) that made krystal believe that Alex was a "pompous a-hole" Yup, Krystal didn't like Alex at all. Ironically, Alex didn't know this, and thought very little about it. Either way, Krystal was extremely upset one week when she found out she had been scheduled to work with "that man". Turns out, by the time the shift had ended, Alex was "actually pretty cool." Alex, for his part, was interested in Krystal about 30 minutes into that shift. For him, she was friendly, beautiful, and fun to talk to.
Their friendship would develop quickly, and by the third shift together they made plans to go out and get some drinks with a co-worker. That co-worker couldn't make it, however, meaning it was just them. Krystal told me that she was "Secretly happy" that the co-worker couldn’t make it because it meant it could just be them.
This was not a date, and they don't consider it their first date, but it was absolutely when they both started getting really interested in each other. Alex had to move the next day, but he kept hanging out and talking with Krystal. For her part, Krystal kept asking him to "stay for just one more drink" - Alex was sure she was into him. So, even though he had so much more to do, they hung out.
It was only a couple days later they would go on their first date (January 3, to be exact). That is what they consider to be their dating anniversary, but now their looking at making a new anniversary, their wedding! I'm so excited to be there for their wedding, and capture these two amazing humans as they say they want to be with each other forever.
