When I moved back to Columbia for my Master’s, Brian was one of the first new friends I made. That’s probably because he was one of the few people who spent as much time in Cool Beans as I did. It’s also because we fall easily into lengthy conversations that span topics ranging from literature to educational theory to whether the latest superhero movie is likely to be any good. I didn’t meet Sara until much later, but I taught with her (awesome) mom for several years. In fact, after Brian and Sara had been dating a while, her mom asked my opinion on Brian. (Don’t worry, Brian, I gave you a good review!)<\/p>\n

\"Brian <\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s talk about the lovely couple, though. First off, I think that they may have the best jobs of any couple we’ve photographed so far. Brian is a writer\/professor. No, really, a real writer. He’s on Amazon<\/a> and everything. (By the way, that link leads to his novel Through a Pale Door<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>The protagonist’s name in that novel? Sarah. Yeah, there’s an ‘h’ at the end, but I’m assuming that’s a typesetting error. Did I mention that he wrote Through a Pale Door <\/em>a few years before he met Sara? Or that the protagonist of the first novel of his that I ever read was named Sarah? I’m not saying Brian is prescient or anything, but…) Anyway, I’m kind of disappointed that he didn’t show up for the engagement session in a tweed jacket with suede elbow patches, but it was a good reminder to me to always consult on wardrobe.<\/p>\n

\"Photobombed<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Holding<\/a><\/p>\n

Sara, on the other hand, works with monkeys, apes, and small mammals, which you’ll know, if you’ve ever taught, is pretty much just like teaching. Hah! I kid! (Not really.)<\/p>\n

\"Sara\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But yeah, I definitely picture the two of them teaming up, getting some grant money, and finally finding out just how many monkeys typing it takes to produce the Twilight<\/em> series*.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Brian<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Brian<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Don't<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Brian<\/a><\/p>\n

We finished up the shoot in Cool Beans, because love goes better with coffee…<\/p>\n

\"Brian<\/a><\/p>\n

…and Battlestar Galactica reenactments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Battlestar<\/a><\/p>\n
