Nine months. It has been NINE months since I have stepped foot into a Zumba class and I miss it SO much. I personally am just not comfortable going back into a gym yet, given COVID concerns, but that didn’t stop me from reconnecting with my favorite Zumba instructor, Robin for a photo shoot.

I won’t lie, I am incredibly picky when it comes to Zumba instructors. I want someone who is going to KICK. MY. BUTT. while making the hour-long sweat session fly by. Robin is that person. She always comes in with a big smile that says “this is gonna be awesome” but also has a hint of “yeah I’m definitely gonna kick your butt today”. It’s the best. In fact, I loved Robin’s classes so much at the gym that I decided to start going to classes at her personal studio. I even had her teach a class for my closest friends on my wedding day! What could put me in a good mood and get me energized on “the most important day of my life”? Robin’s Zumba class.

Ok, that’s enough about Zumba and how awesome Robin is at teaching it. I mean, the title of the post is “Ditching the Workout Attire,” so let’s do that.

I messaged Robin about doing a shoot with her partner at the very spot where Ben and I got married. Robin and James have that type of charisma you can just see and feel through even the simplest cell phone pictures, so I KNEW I had to get them in front of my camera and capture their love.

And capture their love I did…

Oh yeah, did I mention how STUNNING they looked? The red and blue color combo, the style and fit of Robin’s dress, the shades and shoes James was rocking. Come ON. Photographer’s dream right there. (And of course, their clear chemistry.)

In fact, I think I can just stop typing now and just SHOW you how amazing they looked.
