Documenting your love story is so important. This even applies to you married couples out there! Just because you’ve been married a while, doesn’t mean you don’t have to celebrate you!
Taking the time to ground yourself, take dates nights, and even take some new couple photographs is a great way to celebrate your love. It’s even a good way to reconnect and, if you’re a parent, even get some much needed alone time to spend with one another!
I was so lucky to meet Hillary and Kyle. Two young professionals out of Kawartha Lakes raising two beautiful daughters. And can I take a minute here to say how amazing that is, because these two are incredible and thoughtful humans- which we can always use more of in this world :). They’re love is pure, deep, and sprinkled with a little bit of humour. Just being around them is uplifting- seeing how much of a solid team they are.
“From the time we first met we felt chemistry. I can’t recall an exact moment where we both realized we loved each other but from our first date at my apartment, we knew it would be a relationship meant to last. I guess you could say “love at first sight”. Kyle proposed to me the following year on Christmas Eve and I knew I would say yes and love him forever!” -Hillary
To make this cute session even more memorable, I asked them for married advice. I’m hoping that some of these things ring true for you, inspire you, or maybe even add to your list! If you' have more advice, please drop it below!! :)
The secret to a happy marriage is definitely communication and humour. Communication is huge as you are in the relationship together and everything you do and how you feel may affect the other person. We’ve learned that through expressing our feelings and trying to understand each other even when we don’t always want to, we can reach a consensus and work through things! If you don’t talk, you can’t resolve things and they build up inside! Humour always ends things on a softer level and we both love to laugh and joke!
In Kyle, I admire his dedication to marriage. We e certainly been through ups and downs but he continues to show me love and devotion in our marriage. - Hillary
These two were definitely made for one another! Check out the amazing adventure we took at sunset in Jackson Park below and say hi in the comments (or drop your relationship advice!!).
