RANDOM FACTS

I use way too many exclamation marks, but I'm really just that excited!!!! I want to know what moves your heart. I say "that's so funny" quite a bit, but it can mean a number of things. I am a lover of donuts and tea. I floss every night before bed! I love the idea of being spontaneous, but rarely do things unplanned. I am the youngest of four girls, but I'm taller than all my sisters. I would love to open a cafe someday. I am fascinated by the bridegroom God and his ravished heart for all of humanity

I am so excited to share one of my favorite sessions with you today: Julia + Stephen’s engagement! The last time I saw these two was when Stephen flew me up to Santa Cruz to captureÂ the proposalÂ and now they are about to be married! I knew from the last trip that these two would be so much fun to work with so you can imagine how excited I am to photograph their wedding this October! : )

Julia + Stephen wanted to include Julia’s typewriter (a special gift from Stephen) in their shoot. Not only is Julia a wonderful writer but writing letters played an integral role in their story; Julia and Stephen both traveled at some point in their relationship so these sweet love notes were common and now remind them of past memories.

Look how happy these two are! Enjoy! : )

Amazing photos! You two are such a great couple. That’s neat to include the typewriter and letters. I didn’t even know you corresponded via snail mail as part of your courtship. That’s nice, in this day of electronic communication. Looking forward to the wedding!!!
