Shelby and Evan “First Try”

Shelby first inquired about dance lessons as part of her premarital counseling assignment. Honestly, I think this is a GREAT IDEA. Learning a dance as a couple requires patience, communication, support, respect, and a sense of humor- all very important qualities of a healthy marriage! I could tell Evan wasn’t so sure about the dancing thing from the get go, but what I did notice is that he wanted to do whatever made Shelby happy (smart man!). I was honored to be the neutral party during their lessons and I can proudly say that Shelby and Evan came out of their lessons with a unique first dance and (hopefully) as a stronger couple :) They chose First Try for their song that is “filled to the brim with soul”. I love couples who are intentional about their first dance song and if you haven’t listened to this one- I highly recommend it! Maria Aleja Photo captured this dance beautifully and I especially love the last shot of the proud groom!! Congrats again to Shelby and Evan!
