Fandom means being super passionate about some particular thing. There are movie fans, wine fans, football fans, Broadway fans, etc.
We're fans of lots of things, especially of being nerdy wedding photographers, and we love hearing other people get excited about their fandom(s).
Being fans

Elyssa is a double Tar Heel. John is a Clemson Tiger but cheers for UNC too (his grad school) because otherwise Elyssa would be sad.
Don't worry, we've happily (and peacefully) photographed weddings for rival fans. Everyone deserves beautiful images!
College sports

Craft beer is DELICIOUS, but high in calories.
Running is TERRIBLE, but it's great cardio.
Beer + Running = Balance
*It's okay if you're not a beer person or if you actually enjoy running, we can still be friends!
Beer & running
We're enthusiastic About

john
He has a delightfully sarcastic wit.
He good-naturedly teases his loved ones (especially me).
He’s fiercely loyal and caring.
He’s wicked smaht (and hails from New England).
He cheers loudly for Clemson.
He’s never read any Harry Potter books, but he *has* read the Wikipedia entries.
He has a very dapper footwear collection.
He’s an introvert.
His favorite movie is The Two Towers.
He’s an Apple fanboy, former programmer, and the Kivus & Camera tech support team.
He's an IP attorney AND runs the best site on the internet: Rope Drop [dot] Net.
He’s really really ridiculously good-looking, but knows there’s more to life than just that.
He’s my favorite person on the planet and he makes me laugh every day.
John
Let me tell you bout my
best friend
Elyssa
I was a divorce attorney.
I had brain surgery.
I became a wedding photographer.
I still have the same brain, just minus a tumor.
That sort of thing resets a person's priorities, and it solidified my desire to stop practicing law and return to my roots as a photojournalist, this time documenting love stories.
Here are some things I really love:
ASOIAF (Hey George, if you’re reading this, please let Arya and Nymeria reunite happily!), Carolina Basketball, chocolate, comedy podcasts, Disney World, double IPAs, dresses (bonus points for pockets), Durham, elephants, french fries, great television, Harry Potter (Slytherin, represent), John Kivus (duh!), the MCU, naps, photography (duh!), puppies, Star Wars, The Stormlight Archive series, Weddings
oh, and alphabetical lists ;-)
