Rachel + Jon
Rachel and Jon met when they embarked on their SEA Semester program in college. They sailed over 3,000 miles from Tahiti to Hawaii over 3 months. Now, almost nine years later, they are engaged!
The SSV Robert C. Seamans pictured here is the same ship Rachel and Jon sailed the world in, and this was the first time they had stepped foot back on the boat since they disembarked in Hawaii all those years ago.
The ship is typically based in the South Pacific, but as fate would have it, it docked in San Diego for 90 days of maintenance. We obviously had to take advantage of this amazing opportunity for their Engagement session! What better way to tell their story than where it all started?
We watched the sun set over San Diego as Rachel and Jon got to relive old memories while also looking ahead to their future marriage together. It was an honor to be a part of this special engagement shoot, and I can't wait for their wedding day in just a few weeks!

With Love,
Lauren
One of those "everything got changed because of Covid" weddings, but a perfect day because of the joy radiating from the bride & groom. A romantic, rainy Boston day made this wedding one to love.
One of the best things about Malibu is that we can have photoshoots on the beach in any season! Southern California beaches are an amazing shoot location all year round.
There's something to be said about a love that has the power to affect everyone around it. The intimacy and emotion shared at Hanna and Kathryn's wedding in Asheville, North Carolina did just that.

Lindy is my best friend and getting to photograph her beautiful Tahoe wedding was one of the greatest honors of my life. I was a matron of honor and the lead photographer (yeah, it was as insane but awesome as it sounds)!

An enchanting engagement shot in Brazos Bend State Park right outside of Houston, Texas. We laughed through the heat and mosquitos and ended with some incredible images they'll cherish forever.
