Have you ever noticed a couple that happened to be complete strangers look so cute together that you wanted to take their photo?  No, oh well, I have!  While I was in Los Angeles and wrapping up a photo session at the Urban Lights exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) I noticed a young couple just hanging out and chatting.  Unbeknownst to them I watched their interaction for a few minutes….not in like  a stalker/creeper kind of way, but I was intrigued and wanted to meet them.  I pointed them out to my friend Lisa and said “Would I look crazy if I walked over and asked to take their photo?”.  Lisa, being the awesome and always encouraging friend that she is said “Heck no, let’s go over there”.  I haven’t seen Lisa in about 5 years and I forgot that she was always my number 1 cheerleader when I lived in Los Angeles.  It was just like old times, she saw that I had an idea and she wanted to see it thru!

We made our way over to the couple and I think Lisa’s excitement allowed her to beat me to the couple and say “my friend is a photographer, can she take your photos”..lol.  I introduced myself and told them how cute they were and if they minded if I took a few photos of them.  Come to find out Marilyn and Andrew were on their THIRD date!  I would have never guessed and in getting to know a little about them, Andrew has cooked dinner for Marilyn and Marilyn already knows that she wants a 1 carat diamond from Tiffany & Co.  I have never had so much fun talking to complete strangers and ultimately taking their photos!  I gave Marilyn my card and she found me on social media and to show you how small the world is, I moved from Los Angeles to Virginia (DMV) a few years ago and she just moved from the DMV to Los Angeles!

Marilyn and Andrew, I hope you have had many more dates since our encounter and I wish  you two the best!  Andrew, I hope Marilyn has finally cooked dinner for you as well!  Here are some of their photos:
