Countryside. Beaches. Mountains. Engagements surrounded by the beauty of nature.
There is something particularly magical about medium format film, my friends. For Nikhil and Tracy’s already gorgeous engagement session at Crystal Cove State Park (see their first post here!), the film captures those ocean blues in its own dreamy-creamy fashion. And I AM OBSESSED. Film means slowing down… it means being even more intentional about
It all began with a little bit of mystery. When they met in medical school, Tracy couldn’t quite figure out if Nikhil was just being a *super* nice guy, or if he had a thing for her. He’d make her feel extra special and taken care of – always bringing her coffee and making her
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.

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.

When Tony started being extra nice to Pamara, who was the newest addition to their grad program at Cornell, she thought that he was just being friendly to everyone. That he was trying to bridge the gap between all of the ages and welcome her in. But when he started going out of his way to be
These two never believed in soulmates. In fact, they were wondering if this whole love thing was actually going to happen for them or if life had simply passed them by. But then these two started talking over long distance. A few conversations turned into a few months which turned into hearts that were maybe falling for this other
Seeing how fun, friendly, and sweet these two are together, you would never guess how Abby and Grant first met. Grant met Abby at the stables when a friend connected them, because the friend knew they would make a fabulous pair together. So she told Grant how sweet and wonderful and kind Abby is. But when they were introduced, Abby
Chris grew up in the heart of San Francisco. Koree grew up in the heart of San Diego. But these two west coasters met on the other side of the country at Duke University – at the start of law school when Chris hopped into Koree’s car with a bunch of other students and asked
After a fun and exciting two years of dating in college, Jennifer broke it off with Jeremiah. She wasn’t ready for something serious because she had big dreams for her post-college career. There was too much to accomplish… She says that it was the biggest mistake she’s ever made. When Jennifer takes inventory of her twenties – the challenges, the hopes, the dreams,
As soon as it felt right – and not a minute later – Drew asked her out to sushi. Ashley was working at his company for a little while, and he was immediately drawn to her smile and her sweet personality. She was funny and kind. She was beautiful and thoughtful. But since they worked
