Charity, Chris and I spent a lovely couple of hours at the Raleigh Arboretum shooting their engagement session last week. As we were shooting, I asked them how they first met. “It all began with me smashing a cupcake into his face” said Charity as she related the story to me of how she and Chris first started dating. One of Charity’s co-workers was friends with Chris and the three of them started hanging out together. It turned out that Chris’s birthday is the day before Charity’s birthday so Charity decided to throw a “joint birthday party” for the two of them. Apparently Charity could not resist having some fun with a cupcake and obviously Chris took it all in stride.

I have to admit, smashing cupcakes is one of the more unusual ways to a man’s heart!

Their wedding is coming up in a couple of weeks and I plan on being ready during the cake cutting ceremony just in case Chris decides that turnaround is fair play.
