Engagement Photos on Tubbs Hill: Seth & Brittney
Seth and Brittney are two amazing people that grew up kind of far apart (Seth just outside of Bend, Brittney near the Tri-Cities… if I remember correctly) and so they didn't meet growing up, or in school or anything like that. They met like so many couples do these days - on Tinder. You see, Seth moved away from his home town as he was doing research with a PHD student, and when he saw Brittney's picture on Tinder, he did the obvious thing - he swiped right.
Brittney didn't know it though. Because she had her range setting set to 5 miles (compared to Seth's 60). That changed a couple months later when she changed it from 5 miles to 60 and all of a sudden she saw some new faces - one was Seth's. And as things go on Tinder, she swiped right.
I asked her what she thought of Seth's profile, and she said she thought he "was really cute" and had some "great pictures". But I think what really got her was his first message to her once they matched. It was a gif (a very cheesy one) but it spoke directly to her and Seth's kind personality. She replied with an equally cheesy gif and things took off from there. They planned a Skype date (that was when Skype was still a thing) and the conversation flowed. They didn't just talk about lite things, but also serious questions, trying to determine if they both wanted the same thing (in this case, an actual relationship)
This led them to what they call the "super date" which had Seth driving the hour and a half up to see Brittney. They went out to brunch, got some wine, explored some shops, and then finished of with a movie (The Lord of the Rings) at Brittney's place. It was amazing. They clicked right away and just had a lot of fun together.
This is how it all started for them, but now they are saying they want to make it the rest of their lives, and I get to be there to capture it! I absolutely had a great time with these two for this shoot. I loved our conversations and just visiting with these two amazing humans. I am looking forward to the next time.
