Cameron & Kelsey // Driftwood Beach Engagement

I'm gonna keep this one short & sweet. 

I've known Cameron & Kelsey for years now, I've gotten to photograph them several times for various modeling situations (because they are so hott, duh), but getting to photograph them together for THEIR OWN engagements was a dream come true. 

Ever since I found out about this driftwood beach about 3 years ago, I've wanted to shoot there, but knew I needed a couple who was down for anything (and for the 6 hour drive, eek!). When I pitched the idea to Kels & Cam, Kels shrieked with excitement & I knew we were in for a fun time. 

On a rainy July day, we road tripped north, hiked a mile to the beach, & ran around like giddy children taking photos for hours. It was legitimately so much fun & worth every single mosquito bite that plagued my body for the next week and half. We shot until there wasn't a drop of light left in the sky & my camera would no longer focus which you will be able to very clearly tell by the end of blog. ;)

To say I am a million trillion percent obsessed with these photos is an understatement. And to say that I love Cameron & Kelsey with my whole heart is also an understatement. 

Well I guess I didn't keep this short & sweet at all, but enjoy the photos, all thousand of them because narrowing it down was basically impossible. <3 

John & Rainee // Engagement

Last month I drove to the gulf coast of Florida to meet John & Rainee. Gosh, they are both incredible. We ran around the beach playing in the cloudy sunset light, braved the chilly water as the moon rose, & didn't stop shooting till there was not a drop of light left in the sky. I shed a few quiet tears as I watched their tenderness with one another come alive in front of my camera. 

So happy for this special afternoon spent with them. <3

Brian & Kami // Elopement

Oh man, elopements are my favorite. They are so intimate & intentional & I always end up crying my eyes out during the vow exchange. It certainly was no exception with Kami & Brian. Last month, these two & myself ventured to a state park near the coast- it was the perfect blend of Florida greens & white sand. I was honored to witness their union & loved getting to spend so much time with them on this incredible day. 

Brian & Kami- congrats on the start of your new life together! May it be blessed immensely!

Patrick & Sarah // Engagement

Last month I was out in California attending a photography conference ( it was incredible, by the way). After the conference, a few fellow photographers & I took a mini road trip to explore & have some fun shooting in new locations. Along the way we had the opportunity to collaborate on an engagement session in Malibu & it was amazing! Patrick & Sarah are the sweetest couple. They were so playful with one another & their love was making me squeal with excitement. Even as I was editing this session, I don't think a smile left my face once. 

Major props to Patrick & Sarah who totally went along with having 3 crazy photographers at their session. It was so much fun! 

Below is a selection of my favorite images from my camera that day!
