Kristie and Andrey have chosen not to be married. They liken their relationship to birds who are free to fly. They stay together because they choose to be with each other, not bound by anything but their love. So when Kristie told me about her idea to have a photoshoot I wanted to make sure I captured images to really celebrate their love and relationship, because whilst they may not share the same surname, wear matching rings or have a piece of paper to unite them legally, their love for each other is powerful and beautiful and real!
