663          <h2>Green Tea in a <em>Coffee Maker</em></h2>
664          <p>Julie and I met in Asheville in 2002. The first night we met, we stayed up all night talking while she made me green tea in her coffee maker. We both loved hiking and being outdoors, and we have been together ever since that night. We married in 2005.</p>
665          <p class="fmp-pullline">Our cameras have been with us the whole way. On trails, at overlooks, in the rain, and at more than 750 moments when someone dropped to one knee.</p>
666          <p>Two decades later we still live the way we started: outside, together, paying attention. That is the eye we bring to your proposal, your elopement, or your wedding day. We know what a moment worth keeping looks like because we have been living inside one since 2002.</p>

680      <p>In 2010, Google reached out to see if Will would join what became the <a href="https://forgemountainphoto.com/google-street-view-trusted-photography/">Google Street View Trusted photographer program</a>. That call started the commercial side of Forge Mountain Photography. Will moved onto Google's Hotels team shortly after, shooting on the Choice Hotels and Hilton photography crews during the national virtual tour rollout for major hotel brands.</p>
681      <p>Sixteen years later, that work adds up to more than 2,000 published Google Virtual Tours across six continents, over 600 hotels photographed, and Platinum status in the Trusted Photographer program. The same technical discipline Google demanded on every hotel shoot is in every proposal and wedding we photograph today.</p>
