Jolene and I go waaaay back, we grew up together and spent summers body surfing the RI beaches and then lounging the evenings away at her family’s house on the shore. We were great friends through high school, but then as it often does – life happened, and we sort of lost contact. One day last fall Jolene contacted me on FB to say she was getting married and wanted to know if I’d photograph her wedding. The answer (of course!) was yes, but then Jolene told me that she was marrying Bryon Swann – wait – Bryon Swann as in a year older than us, everyone always thought he and I were related Bryon Swann? What a small world.
You see, Jolene and Bryon didn’t really know each other in high school. Sure, they passed in the hallway, and knew who the other person was, but they didn’t really have the same friends. After high school, everyone went their seperate ways, and it wasn’t until a few years ago that Jolene and Bryon just so happened to buy condos in the same building. As fate would have it, they were living just a floor apart – literally one on top of the other. Cue romance and friendship, and all the wonderful things that brought us to this day.
Bryon and Jolene – thank you so much for letting us share your day!!
