We first met Stella + Rio at our local Starbucks. However, it wasn’t until about a month before the wedding that we heard the story of their meeting and proposal.
Here is what Stella said, “We were first introduced to each other at the San Francisco International Airport. It was 2 AM in the morning. Rio was living in Atlanta at that time but had decided to take a vacation to San Francisco. A friend of ours was picking him up and I tagged along.” She continued with the story of his proposal… “One night Rio took me back to the airport terminal where we first met. He played a Jason Mraz song that we both love called, “I’m Yours” …and right there he just asked me to be his wife, inside the car, as we sat in front of the domestic terminal gate at SFO.”
It’s funny how sometimes, by just showing up, we end up in exactly the place we are meant to be. Chris and I have found that many of the couples that we are drawn to, have a very similar story. A story of finding each other when they least expect it.
Throughout their day there was so much love, lots of laughter and many tears of joy shed. The warmth and love was undeniable and I can’t wait to create their extended Same Day Edit as there day was just overflowing!!! They were such a special couple that I did extend this a little longer than their original SDE to include a few extra clips. I also can’t wait to see the photos from Erwin Wijanto photography!!! I got a teaser from him at the reception and what I saw was amazing. It was great working with him. When he does a posting, I will add a link to the photos he took of Stella + Rio.
For those of you who were there, I hope this brings back some beautiful memories… And for those of you who couldn’t make it, I hope you feel like you were there while you watch this.
Enjoy!!!
Much love
Jennifer Mae + Chris
