It all started with a basketball team....the Charlotte Hornets. Ludmila was sitting at her home in Brazil, on Facebook, and she typed in "Charlotte Hornets", and Justin's Facebook profile appeared. She decided to simply message him and say hello....fast forward 3 months later. Justin logs into Facebook to delete his profile, and reads the message Ludmila sent him 3 months prior. They start chatting, and they never stopped. She moved to Colorado to work at a Resort, where they taught her to speak proper English and the ways of the US. Justin came there to visit her for the first time in person, planning to stay for just a few weeks. He ended up staying there with her for 5 months!
On Friday, November 27th, 2009, Justin & Ludmila had a sweet and emotional ceremony outdoors, at Justin's family home....and the love between the two were very touching. I think this was the first time I stood behind my camera with tears in my eyes as they read their vows to each other. After the wedding, they moved to Asheville, NC to start their married life together. We stayed in touch through Facebook, and a few months ago, I heard the great news from one of their family members.....Ludmila is expecting!!!
Not only did Ludmila want me to come to Asheville, to the Biltmore Estate to photograph their maternity session, but they also have invited me to photograph the live birth of their little girl's arrival this December....baby Charlotte. The most perfect name in the world.....because it all started with three little words Ludmila typed in her search box on Facebook....."The Charlotte Hornets".
Justin & Ludmila - Your two year wedding anniversary is fast approaching, and I just want to say how honored I am to have met you both, to have been a part of your wedding day, and now, to witness the love you two already have for your unborn child....Miss Charlotte Troutman. Enjoy your slide show....(the very FIRST one I've ever created, I might add :)
Amor com você!!
Aw, I love love!!
