When Nature Meets the Sand - Britt & Nick's Engagement : Laguna Beach, California

I just LOVE this time of year for the fullness it brings.
That of peak wedding season, the start of family holiday season and you know what else, save-the-date time meaning lots of engagement sessions! Ekkkkkkk!
There is just so much goodness all around. You see, the souls I get to document are some of the most sincere, loving, passionate, down-to-earth and all around RAD humans. Some people, okay a lot of people have reserve when it comes to getting their photo taken.
It’s oh so very common for me to get a message as my client is preparing for their shoot saying, “He doesn’t like photos, I look awkward in photos, I don’t like my right side, etc.” You get my drift, something along those lines?
I always say, and truthfully mean, “I promise, at a point, you’ll forget I’m even taking photos.”
These time capsules, that of this weekends engagement session couldn’t have been more accurate of my last statement. Friend, it is my whole hearted commitment to capture you in your best possible light sharing the natural beauty, euphoria, pure joy, the laughter, the tears, the wildly candid moments when you are skin glistens. I do this through and with confidence, transparency, an inspired heart and intimate connection.
​Your session is designed through a unique vantage point of posed expressions interwoven with naturalness. Your desires, space and time aways of value, always honored because quite frankly you being you, creates space for me to be me and moments like these to come to life!
