It is rare that you come across a couple like Andrea and Gonzalo. Yes, lots of people have something special. I can testify to that, I see LOVE (in all caps) every weekend. But these two have that head over heels, I would throw myself into a burning building for you, the passion will never die kind of love. I kid you not, I every time I asked them to kiss I was a little worried that our Getting to Know You photography session would actually turn into a boudoir session on the beach :P

A couple weeks ago, it was Andrea’s birthday. Gonzalo, being the adorable almost husband that he is, got a group of her friends together (me included, yay!) to celebrate her. Just the fact that he went out of his way to surprise her says so much about his dedication to her. And what I think was even sweeter was his reasoning behind it all. He knew that moving to another country far away from her friends was really hard on Andrea. Even though he knows how impossible of a task he’s facing, he wanted to make her transition a little easier. He wanted her to know that she’s so very loved here in Chile too. On the count of 3, everybody say, “AWWWW!!!” all at once now.

I am pumped for their wedding too! Because apart from having incredible chemistry, Andrea and Gonzalo are hot and have good style. They’re a triple threat. Watch out.

UPDATE: Seba blogged these last night after I wrote the post and went to bed. So I didn’t get to go in and write which were my favorites. THIS is by far my favorite. Love, love, LOVE IT! I had an idea in my head when I saw these yellow flowers and it actually worked! And Andrea looks freaking amazing, so that helps too :) J’adore.

  4. Beautiful!!! I LOOOOVE the first one! Stunning! It reminds me of Twilight (yes I love that movie) when Edward and Bella are lying in their happy place in that meadow. The only difference is that Andrea and Gonzalo make a cuter vampire couple lol! The lighting is gorgeous at dusk at the beach! So romantic! What an adorable couple!

  6. I usually just look your photos, bc I think they´re good. But this set…
    This set is really something beyond. Not only the couple looks great, you show a lot of talent here.
    Congratulations, It´s really a good thing that you gave a try to this job.
    It was the right choice.

  9. These rock. I love the one through the flowers, soo cool. Love the ones in the waves. The kissy one in the water is totally meant to be a huge print!!! Love the one with them running toward you, too.

  10. My first reaction was “that poor guy in wet jeans! that sucks!”

    But after I got over that – these are beautiful, per usual, Kyle.

    I love the Andrea's red shoes!

    They radiate love – nice work capturing it.

  22. Haha, this whole thing was actually Gonzalo's idea. He was the one who convinced Andrea and I! So don't feel bad for him, feel bad for her. Or better yet for the photographer who was sitting down in the water in her jeans to take that picture :P Nah, the water actually wasn't freezing, it was really fun!

  39. Ok Kyle, you truly have a gift. I don't even know these people who are in the pictures, but just the same they make me almost tear up. Your ability to invoke emotion through photos is a true gift and rarity.
