WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS IN LOVE

GREENVILLE, SC & BEYOND

Haven’t Met You Yet

We tell stories for a living. We tell love stories for each and every one of our couples. We tell stories that last a lifetime! But now, we are going to tell a slightly different story: The Story Of Ryan & Alyssa. Obviously, we think this is the BEST love story of all time! We don’t want to forget it. And the best way to remember is to write it down! So follow along as we tell our story, one piece at a time!

If you’re just joining us, catch up here!

Part 1: You Make Me Feel So Young
Part 2: Daddy’s Little Girl

——————————–

The year is 2008. It’s our Sophomore year at Bob Jones University in Greenville. Our individual childhoods have sculpted who we are and have brought us to this moment. We have overcome the awkward stages of high school boyfriends and girlfriends. We have survived our freshman year of college. Life is as good as it has ever been.

We are doing pretty well, right? Except for one little thing…we haven’t actually met yet! But that’s all about to change.

Our sophomore year is still in its freshman stages (if you can get your mind around that little gem) and we walk into the first staff meeting for the BJU yearbook, “The Vintage.” Ryan is entering his second year on the staff while Alyssa is on staff for the first time.

At this point you might be expecting some kind of romantic encounter where our eyes locked on each other and love was planted in our hearts eternally. We hate to burst that beautiful love bubble, but we have to. It definitely didn’t happen like that! In fact, we met in a little “get-to-know-everyone-game” situation. And…that was about it. We were both in other relationships and it just wasn’t our time yet!…but stay tuned.

Though we didn’t hit it off right away, we did become good friends. And we are forever grateful for that fact! Alyssa might even admit a small attraction for Ryan early on. Ryan was slower on the draw, however, and nothing came of it. You’ll have to wait another year and a half into the story for that moment!

We had a great time together as friends. We even went on a few “dating outings” together though we didn’t consider them to be dates. But little did we know that many dates were on their way soon!

Next time we will get to the moment the lightbulb came on for Ryan and everything changed forever!
