Becky and Darnell’s Engagement Session at Yo Yo’s laundromat

At the start of Becky and Darnell’s engagement session in Fulton Market, I pulled them to a halt just as we were about to begin and said, “the only advice I have for you is ‘don’t be afraid to love each other.”

“Oh we won’t have a problem with that,” Becky replied.

And they didn’t.  Their session was full of hugs, kishes, licks, and laughter.  Yep, even licks.

We had a great time on Randolph street, but we didn’t stop there.  We hopped in the Purple Passion (my purple Toyota Rav4) and headed to Yo Yo Coin’s for a few laundromat pictures.  I loved that Becky and Darnell were up for this location.  Laundromats have this time warp affect that transports me back to the 70’s (or at least what I think the 70’s must have been like).  I love the oversized washer and dryers, the people watching old game show reruns, and the camaraderie  amidst strangers–everyone united in our common chore.  It was so fun to snap shots of Becky and Darnel exploring the facility. There constant laughter definitely drew some attention from the staff and customers.  They seemed to enjoy the change from our shoot and even cheered on the couples posing.
