La Jolla Engagement Session | Kaitlin + Adam

KaitlinAdamEngagementBlog-52

This was an engagement shoot that I was super excited for, because both Kaitlin and Adam are two of my best friends! I met Adam shortly after I moved to San Diego and we in the same west coast “family” of best friends. After a few years, I was out to happy hour with him and another one of my friends, Erin, and he told us how he wanted to find a good girl to settle down with. Erin and I knew Adam in and out, and after a few glasses of wine wrote out a highly specific list of all the characteristics of Adam’s future wife haha! We told him that whatever we wrote on this paper, was the girl he was looking for. A few months later, Adam meets Kaitlin. He was excited to introduce her to our group of friends. Once we met her, Erin and I pulled Adam to the side and told him “Kaitlin is the literal representation of the piece of paper we wrote out for you!” We looooveed Kaitlin! She quickly became one of the gang! It was just a matter of time before Adam proposed. He did so on their trip to Greece this fall, and hearing Kaitlin recall the story was just so adorable and so very them. I can’t wait to *attend* their wedding next year!!! Congrats, friends!!

Romantic Boulder Colorado Engagement Session | Rachel + Kyle

RachelKyleEngagmentBlog-32

These two lovebirds traded bustling city life for the Colorado life and I ain’t mad about it…. it suits them don’t you think!? They knew they wanted beautiful mountains as the backdrop for their session, but we weren’t sure what the weather was going to do for our scheduled shoot. Luckily, because Colorado is weird like that, we had a 60degree day. This session included snowy fields, icy mountains, golden grass, and wind, LOTS OF WIND! So you can say we had a nice variation working with us! It wasn’t hard making these two look good frolicking around in the fields. They just giggled and ran around, half on command by me, half on their own accord! ‘Cause they were that CUTE! I’m excited for their wedding next year as well! Congrats again!

Red Rocks Amphitheater Engagement Session | Sarah + Kyle

SarahKyleEngagementBlog-37

I always love when couples are down for my silly requests. “Hey, do you guys want to wake up at 5am so that we can drive out to Red Rocks and have the place all to ourselves for sunrise? Yeah? Great!” Thankfully these two trusted me and it all paid off! I got to Red Rocks a bit before them, while the sky was still dark and starting to turn to a soft pink. I ran into a few deer and some bunnies as I walked the trails by myself, deciding where we would shoot that morning! Sarah and Kyle came out of their car looking fresh and like they’d been up for hours haha. We had a great time frolicking around the trails and just admiring the beauty of this part of Colorado. They went out to a big breakfast after the shoot, and it was still only 8am! Ha! Congrats on the engagement you two!
