Rene 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".
Read MoreRhea reached out to me recently with a plan. She wasn’t looking for a photographer for a wedding a year or two away—she was getting married in just a couple of weeks! She asked if I could be there to document their surprise elopement at Farragut State Park, and I’m so glad the stars aligned so I could say yes.

Read MoreThey met on Tinder - as so many people do these days. Sean had messaged Amanda several times, but she had ignored each one until one day she figured "meh, why not?" and so she replied to him.

You may think that she needed help because she is completely oblivious when it comes to cars, but she isn't - she was in mechanic school. That said, her boyfriend had a friend named Kevin who was pretty darn awesome with cars, so she face timed him. He helped her. That was it.
Read MoreThey met at work - kind of. Basically Kindal would walk by Austin's job every day on the way to her job - but they wouldn’t' talk. This would happen for months, but one day Kindal would be a "recommended follow" on Instagram, so he would do so. Kindal noticed, and hoped he would reach out - he didn't. That is, unless you count him responding to a poll she made once.
Read MoreThey met on Match.com. Just like so many couples these days, they met online (I would say about 75% of my couples met online in some form), and they hit it off. Both Josh and Nikki told me that their earlier chatting online and over text felt real - it wasn't superficial. It seemed like both of them actually cared, and wanted to have something real. This moved things forward. The problem? They lived roughly 8 hours apart.
