Fun Couple in Northern Liberties!

I recently got to meet up with Rosario & Javier for a session celebrating their one year anniversary!  What a wonderful idea.  Not enough couples do this kind of stuff and I think that they should.  And… not just to celebrate one year but 2 years, 5 years, 34 years, 50 years, etc…  In fact, I think that the more years a couple is together, the more celebration that should be required.

ANYWAY!  I had such a wonderful time wondering around Northern Liberties with these two.  They were so fun and adorable together.  Congrats Rosario & Javier!!  Thanks for making my job so simple and such a pleasure.  🙂

It was a beautiful evening which made for dramatic shadows….

I can’t take full credit for this next image.  I was inspired by another photographer that did this idea of the shadows dancing…though I am not sure who that photographer was.  Also, I can’t help but think of Duane Michals’ (a photographic hero of mine!) “Chance Meeting” series too.  Anyway, I couldn’t resist my interpretation when I saw their shadows on the wall.  A little goofy, I know…  but kinda fun, right?  😉

Both Rosario & Javier are Puerto Rican.  Rosario is also Mexican.  I love that they brought their flags as props.  Oh, and they had these cute iphone messages too!

We stopped for some ice cream!

Did I mention that they also like Spanish dancing?  Well, they do.  They played some music on Rosario’s phone and then worked their moves.  It was quite a show!  I really enjoyed it!

We also got to play around with my Grandpop’s vintage camera.  Javier & Rosario were the perfect mix of fun, romantic and authentic!  An absolute pleasure.
