We shot Simon & Deborah on the beautiful shores of Diani on a lazy Wednesday morning. Their love was so pure, unadulterated, unrehearsed, beautiful to the eye to behold. We shot them for about 20 minutes and it was so easy to see that love looks easy for people so deeply in love. Here are some of my favourites from this shoot and some of my most favourite love quotes
“The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.”
— Victor Hugo
“I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.”
— Angelita Lim
“The heart wants what it wants. There’s no logic to these things. You meet someone and you fall in love and that’s that.”
“I choose you. And I’ll choose you over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I’ll keep choosing you.”
— (Unknown)
“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
“I realized I was thinking of you, and I began to wonder how long you’d been on my mind. Then it occurred to me: Since I met you, you’ve never left.”

“Thinking of you keeps me awake. Dreaming of you keeps me asleep. Being with you keeps me alive.”
“When love is not madness it is not love.”
“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”
“I wish I could turn back the clock. I’d find you sooner and love you longer.”

“There is a madness in loving you, a lack of reason that makes it feel so flawless.”
