Sweetheart Session - Kate and Carey

Strangers in a strange land met and fell in love.

That's Kate and Carey in a nutshell.

Seven years ago Kate and Carey left the warmth of their respective family homes and headed overseas on exchange to Sweden. They were both seeking the same thing: adventure, excitement, dazzling experiences. They found all that, and much more. They found each other.





Kate is Australian, and Carey from New Zealand. It amazes me that they travelled to the other side of the earth to find each other. But if one of them hadn't have filled out those exchange application forms, if one of them had pulled out at the last minute, they would never have met. Talk about meant to be.





Kate smiles with her whole body. She says she hates it. 'Too smiley'. But I love it. Because her joy is so apparent. It comes from deep inside. You can tell from her smile, her laugh, that she is blissfully happy.





Kate and Carey are so relaxed around each other. The chatted effortlessly while I was taking their photo. Sometimes I felt like I wasn't even there (in a good way). They are like a sweet tune played beautifully on a guitar at the end of a day.



Or a dance to music only they can hear.





When I first met Kate and Carey, Kate jumped up, gave me the warmest of hugs, and asked me about my children. Did I already know her? Nope, but she'd been reading my blog. From then on, our relationship was like that of old friends.







Their laughter is truly infectious.



Their wedding is going to be golden. I can't wait.
