Laguna Beach Engagement Session : Christie & Gabriel

July.05.2012 | Engagements

I really love when I get couples who book me really close to their wedding day…it’s like an unexpected gift you receive in the mail :-)  Christie & Gabriel are getting married in 10 days and I first met with them just a couple of weeks ago!  I was in love with them from the get go…they are just darling!  They met and fell in love at the same school they are teachers at!  How adorable is that?!  I couldn’t help but notice during their engagement session when they would steal little kisses and whisper sweet nothings to each other.  I told them to never stop doing that because that is what will keep their love alive…along with trust, patience, understanding, laughter, a sense of humor, and about 100 more things ;-)

I can’t wait for their wedding at the Bowers Museum too!  It will be my first time shooting there which I always love too :-)  It’s like a brand new playground I get to explore!  Stay tuned for their wedding in just a few weeks!  Enjoy everyone!

I love how they look at each other :-)

It was a beautiful day in San Juan Capistrano where we started the first part of their shoot…

I love how happy Christie looks here :-)

I am petrified of rail road tracks and so is Christie but we risked our lives for this one :-D

I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a “beach” person but I always am enamored by how beautiful and peaceful it is.  I think I actually am a beach person as long as there aren’t a lot of people there :-)

There is something I absolutely LOVE about this image!!!

Beautiful ending to a beautiful day :-)
