This week has been allll about Engagement Sessions! We love it! With 5 E-sessions in 7 days, it’s been so much fun, with every session completely unique and every couple just more amazing than we ever could have hoped for! I think I’ve blogged this phrase before, but I just have to say it again. Putting thought and effort into preparing for your engagement session will never return void! A perfect example is our most recent couple, Abigail and Ryan….we love them
So if you can’t already tell, Erin and I love Engagement Sessions. We get so excited to spend time with our brides and grooms before the wedding, talking, laughing, and really just breaking out of the mold of a wedding “vendor” (I just cringed a little) and stepping into a place where we are trusted, confided in, and an actual part of two people’s incredible day.
So yea, you can say we get excited. BUT, our excitement, was totally shown up…I’ll admit it…by Abigail and the days and months leading up to our shoot. And you know what? We wouldn’t have it any other way! We talked, swapped emails, and really tried to find the perfect setting where she and Ryan not only felt comfortable, but really was the perfect place that represented their love for one another. Erin and I came across the perfect location and we are so excited to share with you a few moments that just prove to the world how great these two are together. We can’t wait to show even more proof as these two prepare to be married next year in Laguna Beach at Tivoli Too. Can you say “beyond excited?”
I think what we love most about our time with Abigail and Ryan, and what we love about the images we came away with, is that every kiss, every laugh, and every embrace, is uniquely “them.” We count ourselves blessed in not only knowing these two, but also in knowing there is a love like theirs only growing stronger as the days pass by!
P.S. A HUGE thanks to our bride Stephanie who got married last month at the Los Coyotes Country Club for sending these two our way!
