Wilderness Meets the Sand : Andi & Matt's Laguna Beach Engagement Session

3/18/2021

0 Comments

 
Friend, my heart has been on fire.
The exchanges.
The connections.
 The moments.
The honoring of the present.
The love.
The beauty of the subjects at hand, the nature that surrounds them and the glistening sun that engulfs them.
It melts me, every single time.

Frankly, my couples are amazing.
They’re badass, rad, radiant, kind hearted, genuine, very in love souls.
You see, this didn’t “just happen.”
This isn’t “coincidence.”
No, not “luck” either.
This is me, intentionally connecting with myself, with my craft of a profession, with the why behind what I do, every single day. In this connection, I have very humbly, very proudly been able to communicate that with the world - through my branding, though my photographic style, through each and every time capsule created, through the extensive conversations I have before booking a wedding.

Truthfully, I could keep going. I share this, not to gloat.
I share this, as I am immensely inspired by each and every soul I meet, photographic exchange that is shared and long lasting trust and connection that is built. I share this, as through living intentionally, sharing intentionally, I attract those who do the same. There is the understanding, this synergy, this trust that is truly so life giving. It is beautiful. It is confirmation of the cyclical nature of our existence - what you put out, you get back, tenfold. I put myself out here, each and everyday as I know the most perfect souls will receive it and they will become family!

These time capsules, are truly the culmination of this all. 
Andi and Matt,  you two are truly incredible!
I had so much fun documenting your love.
​Cannot wait for your wedding in 2022!
