Aleshia & Justin Engagement Session | Atlanta Wedding Photographer

June 30, 2011 | Engagement Sessions, showcase | 9 Comments

I never get tired of capturing the love & fun in e-sessions. This session certainly had a massive dose of both. Although it was extremely hot the day of the shoot(Like sweating hot!) we still had an amazing time. Aleshia & Justin are getting married in beautiful Savannah. Definitely looking forward to it. The story of how Aleshia met Justin is a classic one so had to share. Enjoy 🙂

We should have met long before we actually did! We both attended Georgia Southern University and had a class right next to each other. One day getting off the elevator (feeling flirtatious) I noticed this cute guy sitting in the chair studying. He glanced (doing a double take) then looked back into his books. Later, I was walking with a friend to class and asked her if she noticed the cute guy sitting in front of the elevator ….my luck, she didn’t. Arriving to class, we prepared to take a test and I whispered to her, “Hey I can’t stop thinking about who that mystery guy was”, she laughed. So after acing my test, I went to my next class, I questioned other friends in my next class, giving full details, cute, tall, light skin, wearing a gray hoodie. Was I was seeing things? So I put it in the back of my head and went on with my life. 🙂

A month later, on a Friday I was sitting in my quantitative analysis class conducting a performance review on the teacher. We finished class a few minutes early and the teacher asked if someone would take the forms to the third floor office ( Me never wanting to go to the third floor on a Friday, but knowing I need to make this professor my BFF to pass) I raised my hand. I decided to take the furthest elevator down the hall up to the third floor checking out classes, the last door open and there stood my man, at least in my mind. Me, being very shy (smiling), I ducked my head and quickly ran in to the elevator.

After dropping off the forms, I left school made a “B” line to a close friend’s house to tell her the news. She was clueless! I had a 45 minute drive home thinking about this guy. So again I went on with my life. Two months later, I woke up determined to find this guy, Today! I put on my Sunday’s best and left for school. I asked my friend Tracy if she would walk the hall and look into every class with me because I had to find him. So we retraced the first sighting…no guy…we get to the first classroom, stop, peeped in…still no mystery man. We had 2 more classes to go, one was mine. I got distracted and looked away that’s when Tracy screamed “there he is” grabbing my arm. We quickly ducked between the classroom doors and regrouped. I said to her “Are you absolutely sure” because she never saw him. She replied, “I just know”. I did a quick makeup and hair check then boldly walked to the door, WOW! There he was… with his big head looking right at me smiling.

Luckily, my class was cancelled; we rushed to Tracy’s to check Facebook, “the CSI for college students”. Tracy remembered …he was the guy she had a class with her freshman year, “I think his name is Jason” Halfway through all the darn Jason’s at Georgia Southern, she said…” No it’s JUSTIN!” We quickly put in Justin and 4 pages down Justin Stevens pops up! I sent a friend request to him… The rest is history!
