When life gives you lemons, to rain on the day of your engagement sessions, make like Ranko and Savannah and make lemonade! After being separated for months (Savannah lives in New Orleans and Ranko in Brisbane) when borders reopened, the pair were finally able to reunite. So what better way to commemorate the magic than with an engagement session?
I joined Ranko and Savannah for a day that despite the pouring rain, they didn’t want to cancel. And the result? Photographs that are moody, mystic and utterly romantic.
Perfect really for a couple that has devoted their life to one another since meeting on a dance floor! Savannah filled us in on how they met. “We met during our first week of medical school. I had seen him and instantly told a friend “that Serbian guy is cute”. Later that week we went out with some friends but got separated from the group and ended up dancing the night away together. The rest is history!”
The romance continued with a Valentines Day proposal. “Our very first date was on valentine’s day in 2019. On Valentine’s day 2020, Ranko took me to the same exact restaurant we had gone to a year ago and then told me that he wanted to take me to a rooftop bar. We made a stop back at home first and he told me he wanted to go to the roof of our apartment building to watch the sunset quickly. We got up there and I saw one of my friends hiding behind the bar and a photographer hiding behind the pool. I knew what was about to happen, so I smiled at him and we both laughed and he nervously said “Just follow my lead”. The rest of it was a blur, but the sunset ended up being stunning and I’m reminded of that moment every time I see a gorgeous sunset.”
