Keyvan & Christine ~ Beloved ~ Anthem Love Photographer

He was the President of her dorm. She was an incoming freshman. By Halloween he was her boyfriend and they've been together since then. Keyvan and Christine are two of the nicest people I know. Their love for each other has weathered many obstacles but through it all they have remained steadfast partners.

I never had the opportunity to meet Keyvan's father. He died just after Keyvan graduated from college and he and Christine have been the heads of the family since then. But this is how I imagine Keyvan dad looked. There is something about this picture that really speaks to me of Keyvan's ancestry and strength.

They have so much fun together. One minute snuggling and the next, Keyvan goes Packman on Christine.

Through all the challenges these two have faced, they always come back to each other and the loving and supportive foundation of their relationship. It is so clear when he looks at her, when she looks at him, that no matter what life brings they are so deeply connected that they will be able to weather it together. They are a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing your love with me.

Sal & Miriam ~ Beloved ~ Anthem Love Photographer

She was actually on a date with some one else when Sal saw her again. They had met before at an audition and had struck up a conversation but he didn't ask for her phone number. When he saw her again, he wouldn't let her go. He casually managed to join the date and Sal and Miriam have been together ever since.

In their eleven years together, they have faced many challenges. They've had to fight for each other against tradition and stand by each other through health challenges. And yet. And yet, they are always lighthearted. They always make each other laugh. Watching the two of them on a dance floor is a sight to behold.

They are also hams. Sal's father is in construction so when he spotted this pile of building materials, he just couldn't resist playing around and doing his own version of American Gothic.

And they care for each other in the deepest of ways. When you are with them, even if you're only with one of them, you get the sense that part of them is always thinking about the other one. Their comfort. Their happiness. Making each other's lives easier.

They truly are each other's beloved.
