I feel like I should start introducing myself to people as, “Hi. My name is Jessica Charles & I photograph gorgeous couples.” Because it’s true. Photographing my couples is the easiest thing on earth because not only are they super gorgeous, but the sweetest and most fun couples ever. Andrea and Sheldon are exactly that!! They were adorable and sweet and completely model-worthy.
Bryan and I first met up with the beautiful couple at the Flying Pig in Downtown St Pete and had some beers. Total disclaimer, I love to meet my prospective couples at local tea, coffee or craft beer places, my treat! If you choose beer, just know that my husband will more than likely tag along. You’re welcome for the free beer, honey. ;)
We had so much fun meeting with Andrea and Sheldon. I felt like we were immediate friends, and we bonded over our obsession for the podcast Serial. In fact, Andrea and Sheldon are from the Baltimore area and their first date was across the street from THE infamous Best Buy. They do not remember a phone booth ever being there. (Serial talk, sorry.) So yeah, we had lots of fun things to talk about on top of all the fun wedding talk! Perfect evening!
And then when I got to work with them, I couldn’t have been happier because THEY were happy and excited. I barely had to give them any direction, like at all. They just loved being close and having fun. And that’s all I ask of my couples.
