The Youngrens Behind the Scenes in 2011

Happy day two of 2012! We’ve been in Orlando with Jeff’s family since Christmas Eve, which means that 2012 has so far been whole lot of poolside sun with a ton of Grandma’s cooking and a side of sleeping in. Not too shabby. I hope you enjoyed these two posts featuring our 2011 couples’ favorite images – they were some seriously emotional posts! But we’re switching gears today from emotional to ‘dear-lord-is-that-what-I-really-look-like?’ with our recap of 2011 with this little golden nugget of a slideshow. It’s all of the images that Jeff and I captured of each other throughout the…

Our Couples’ Favorite Images of 2011
The Engagement Session

Tags: 2011 Favorites

“Why not let our couples’ speak?” It must have been over happy hour nachos (or a burrito or a flight to somewhere) that Jeff brought it up. Instead of recapping 2011 on the blog with OUR favorite wedding and engagement images, why not ask our couples to tell us what their favorites are? My hubby is brilliant. Not only do I not have to go through the gut-wrenching exercise of picking out my favorite photos from the year after 80 some photo shoots (seriously impossible – think Erin hitting her head against the desk with a confused Gracie rolling around nearby),…

Solana Beach Engagement, Part Two
Brandon and Katie

Tags: brandon & katie

I really hope that Part One of Brandon and Katie’s engagement session in Solana Beach yesterday prepared you guys enough for the adorable-ness you’re about to experience today. Couldn’t you just feel the connection between these two yesterday? I love the way they snuggle into each other – how she rests on him and he pulls her close. It’s one of my favorite things they do! So why don’t we start there with Part Two down on the beach at Fletcher Cove… 18 people love this Oh.My.Goodness. Those eyes…. KILLER. 17 people love this And Brandon again with that charming…

Solana Beach Engagement, Part One
Brandon and Katie

Tags: brandon & katie

Brandon is a nurturer at his core. He’s used to taking care of others – from the basketball court to his family, he has always been there for his team. No matter what, he’s got their back. Katie is the kind of girl with a candy coated spirit. Strong and supportive on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside – which makes for the kind of girl everybody adores. And what makes them so perfect for each other is that this nurturing guy has found somebody that has his back too. This soft girl has just enough strength to…

Rancho Santa Fe Engagement, Part One
James and Marilyn

Tags: james & marilyn

It’s the sweetest of all the sweet stories – high school sweethearts that fell in love at the senior prom. He was the popular, cute baseball player in the junior class. She was a senior girl that needed a date. So he took her. And within weeks, he knew he wanted to marry her. But the twist to the story is that she wasn’t sure. She was head over heels for this adorable, caring boy, but she was 17 – could this really last? Was it really the kind of thing that could last through college – through growing up?…

Huntington Beach Engagement, Part One
Chris and Jenny

Tags: chris & jenny

It was meandering along the art galleries in Laguna Beach that Jenny realized they weren’t so different after all. She was the only girl at school that wouldn’t give him the time of day. He was a cute and popular guy, but she wasn’t interested. She was the president of her sorority, led a busy life in college, and honestly thought that Chris wasn’t the kind of deep, romantic person she was looking for. He was just another charming college guy and she had things to do and places to go. But her thoughtful eyes and firm ideals intrigued him, and…
