When Love Is Brand New

"Everythang is cooooool, when loooooove is aaaaaaall brand neeeeeew. Cause you're learning me, and I'm learning you."   

-Musiq Soulchild

Love feels so good when it's brand new right? The tingles you get when your significant someone whispers in your ear.  Just laying in the bed all morning together with no urgency to start your day.  When you still smell the other's cologne or perfume on yourself hours after you've left their presence. New love just brings out the best in people.  The moment you first realize you are genuinely in love with a person is a pivotal experience. Scary almost, because we naturally want to protect ourselves from the disappointments that come with love.  Yet in still, we ignore our fears and trust that this new love will be better than past relationships.   This experience of new love should be embraced, not feared.  There is nothing wrong with loving someone too soon.  Positive energy cannot be denied, trust your emotions. Take full advantage of new love.  You will be surprised how far you could get if you  allowed yourself to be loved without apprehension.    

While on the topic of new love, my wedding season has finally begun. This past Saturday, I had the honor of photographing Charles and Denise Lawton's Wedding.  They were a great couple to work with.  You can tell when they are together that they have a magical chemistry.  I took this photo in the Atlanta Metropolitan Cathedral with the wedding party looking on as they snuck a kiss.  God Bless their union.
