The Book of Love - Chris + Danielle - Long Island Engagement

She is a librarian.
Have you ever heard of anything so cute?!

Just when I thought the world of books had met their fate with the Nooks, Kindles and Ipads -
there was Danielle who still uses the Dewy system. I literally sighed in relief.

It's the classic case of boy meets girl.  

Their beautiful beginning began among rows of books at a library where they both work.

It took him almost a year to work up his nerve to even talk to her.

I think The Monotones asked the most perplexing question ever:
'Who wrote the book of love?'

While we all may search for the answers,
we are actually in charge of our own fate with each turn of a page.
We are the authors of our story. 

Each new chapter that we write can be savored or dwelled upon.
We have a choice.

While we are all busy looking for that happy ending -- the pages in between are being written.

And it's those pages, those moments, those every day minuet minutes that are what life is made up of.

We all have a story to tell. And maybe that's why I love pictures so much. They help tell our story.

They help us reference our lives. The story may be our own, but the best ones are shared with others.
That's why I do this blog.
In a world that is filled with heart wrenching news, it's nice to hear of happiness.

People who found love and couples that make each other happy.

'Peace, love and joy' should be celebrated throughout our lives, not just on special occasions. 
Love should be lived, not just felt.

Every story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end.
And although this is how all stories unfold, I'm pretty sure Danielle and Christopher's will go on forever.

Their love story began here:

It all started with a kiss...

They were referencing something...

4 foot something to his six foot something...

I'm talking height here. ; )

This one makes my heart happy.

A little bit of symmetry...

I should have taken a picture of the heart Danielle drew.

It would have made you giggle.

Genuine smiles are my favorite...

There is a cozy little outdoor reading park called 'Inside Out' behind the Sachem library.

If you're ever in the area you should stop by to check it out! You can find out more about it here.

While we are on the subject of libraries - I have a confession to make.
I used to cut class.
But I was the dork who would cut class to read in the school library while my friends went to the beach.
*shakes head*

Being wrapped up in a story is one of my favorite things to do.
It's the main reason why I love my job.
I get to see, hear and feel the stories that are behind every single image.  

What kind of December session would this be without a Christmas tree?! So I snuck one in.

The moon made an appearance too...

Danielle and Christopher,

 I love how you both smile ear to ear when you look at each other.

It was awesome seeing where it all started for you both, and where your story continues to still be written.

I'm thrilled that I will be documenting your 'story'...hopefully with a dusting of snow around us!

P.S.

Special thanks to the Knot for bringing C+D my way!
