They met online - they both swiped right. The biggest problem with the whole thing though wasn't that they matched, but that Skyler was in Pakistan when it happened - yeah. So what that meant is they had to talk, and talk they did! First it was over the app, but then quickly moved to Snapchat and then to WhatsApp. They would start doing video calls "every once in a while" and would generally get to know each other.
Read MoreThey met online - which shouldn't be surprising at this point. In their case, they "matched" two times in the past, but Nick thought Kirsten was "too young" for him (she's only 3 years younger than him), so they never really talked. But when they matched for the third time, Nick messaged her and said something along the lines of "third time means we better get married!" Which didn't concern Kirsten at all. In fact, she was excited to meet Nick.
Read MoreWill and Jordan met online - as almost everyone does these days. The weird thing about it was that Will lived in Washington, while Jordan lived in Nashville. Yeah, if you're trying to think "how did they match?!" That's exactly what Jordan was thinking too. So she messaged him "You're not from here, are you?" - There must have been something that tipped her off. Either way, the reason is simple, Will said the people in our area "just weren't working out" and so he changed his matchable area to be very, very large.
Read MoreIt’s hard for me to fully elaborate on how much I appreciate these two. They aren’t just a couple who asked me to take their photos. They aren’t some friends i’ve had a long time. They are more than that. Admittedly I know Colton much better than I know his beautiful wife Summer, but being able to spend time with both of them, watch them laugh together, was something I highly enjoyed. These are two amazing people, and if you know them, you know i’m right. Here are some of my favorites from our shoot.
Read MoreThey met on Hinge during the pandemic - as so many couples have. Turns out, when life slows down a bit, it becomes much easier to meet people. So while they matched on Hinge, it didn't take Fernando long to invite Jaimey out on a date. He said that he hated the back and forth of the texting, and would rather just "know".
Read MoreMack and Mayra have a unique story - a rare story. You see, they met in person, yup, I said it, in PERSON. That means they did not meet over a screen, they did not both swipe right, and they did not send text on their first interaction. Pretty weird, huh? Instead, they saw each other in class. Both of them told me the other caught their eye day one, but Mack - who chose to sit in the back - was far from Mayra (who was in the front, naturally), so he couldn't talk to her. The class had no group projects and no discussion, so while both of them saw each other, they didn't talk for the whole semester.
