Faran Holzer of You & Me Fotografie met this sweet couple on a cold winter day in Lower Austria for an escape to the mountains. “Knowing my couples and their stories is one of my favorite parts,” Faran says. After spending the better part of an hour exchanging stories over tea, the group set out on a hike to the photographer’s favorite spot, a lookout with spectacular views of their village. “Some sessions are so powerful to me that sometimes it takes me a moment to really realize what [has] happened,” Faran reveals. “Shooting Andrea and Phillip was like this. Holding my camera and watching how these two amazing souls [slowly opened] themselves to me, letting me peek for a second into their most intimate moments [was] the biggest gift… For me, this [was] magic!”
