I've become more and more introverted over the years, so making new friends effortlessly is definitely not been my strong suit. Luckily, I happened upon Yael almost 3 years ago when she took a teaching job at the Montessori school I currently work for. Our mutual passion for helping children with learning differences bonded us instantly, and I found her down-to-earth personality such a breath of fresh air whenever work became overwhelming. Since then, I've been fortunate to watch her pursue her dream of becoming an occupational therapist, marry her best friend, purchase their first place together... so when her and Vasili's one year anniversary rolled around, I harassed them into going somewhere new and allowing me to photograph their love.
