Here are just a few images from a mini-engagement session I did with a very cool couple. I can’t wait to share some of their wedding soon! The story is that they have had an extended engagement period because when Elliot knew he wanted to marry Rachel he wasted no time in asking her (somewhere in India where Rachel had followed Elliot, by the way) without thinking about when they would actually get married. (Cue songbirds: How romantic!) They had each met their match and they knew it. Neither was going to let the other one get away. In the meantime they have been sharing their lives and building a strong foundation for a relationship that is sure to be full of many more adventures. How lovely when two great people become a great couple. I couldn’t be happier for them.

You could not meet a nicer couple. What a pleasure it was to photograph them! Mica and Christian are so full of spirit it was easy to capture the love in their relationship. We scheduled the session in order to catch the sunset on Carmel River Beach and were rewarded with plenty of gorgeous pinky-orange tones. We made the most of the softening light until the very last second! Thank you Mica and Christian, and congratulations!
