Engagements
That beautiful time between "Yes" and "I do. " Our favorite engagement sessions.
As the sun made its way to the horizon and covered Chris and Sarah in warm, golden light… it also covered them in an overwhelming assurance of grace. That peaceful, oh-so-beautiful moment served as a reminder of all they’d walked through in the last year: more trusting, more challenges, more determination to grow a deep,
Every minute of their oh-so-long flight, Greg and Courtney were giddy with all the adventure that awaited them in Paris: crêpes and wine and patisseries and touring all the iconic landmarks in the city of love. But Greg had one specific moment rolling over and over in his mind: the moment he planned to ask
Omair and Christy are already sweet and gentle people to begin with, but together is where they are truly their best selves. Together is where they’re most connected. When they’re in each other’s arms, it’s oh-so-obvious just how much these two settle in, breathe deeper, and soak in the moment. Christy and Omair fell in
After their very first date, JR and Allison walked away with a spark in their souls they’d spent their whole lives waiting for. It went beyond their easy conversation and effortless attraction… it was something so much greater. It was as if they’d always known each other, like they’d been saving a special place in
When they first met, CJ was instantly attracted to Elizabeth’s irresistible sassiness, authenticity, and confidence. Well…AND the fact that she’s drop-dead-gorgeous.

Whitney would come up with any excuse she could think of to stop by the cute new intern’s cubicle (and that cute new intern was Eric). Most of the time, it was because the coffee machine on her floor was “broken,” so she simply had to get coffee on the floor where he worked… and stop
David and Lisa have no shortage of adventure in their love story. They first met in the mountains of Mammoth, fell in love on the beaches in San Diego, and after shark diving off the shores of Fiji, David asked Lisa to adventure with him forever. But for David and Lisa, they could be flying
For Sierra, she always had a mental vision in her head of what life would look like. And to be honest… this wasn’t exactly it. It was SO. MUCH. BETTER. When she met Paul, her life flourished into a beautiful garden of deeply rich, intensely joyful moments… and the life they’ve built together goes beyond
She just wasn’t feeling it. They were taking family photos on the beach for the holidays, and Marilyn pulled a beanie over her hair because at that point, she was sort of over the idea of pictures. (We’ve all been there at some point, right?!) But then, as they were walking along the beach, Marilyn’s
Minh and Cathy are two best friends who also happen to be head-over-heels for each other. Minh can’t get enough of this gorgeous girl and everything that makes her who she is: her constant joke-cracking, endless creativity and ambition, and her oh-so-infectious personality. When it came to choosing her, it was a no-brainer. And Cathy
She usually never did this. Heather is a traditional type of girl, one who usually waits for the guy to make the first move… But when she came across Doug’s profile on a dating app, she thought maybe she’d make an exception. Just this once. So she did – she left him a message, leaving
Every night as he’s dozing to sleep, one lingering thought always crosses Wade’s mind: I still can’t believe I get to marry her.
