The three of us sat in a quaint courtyard... away from the hustle and bustle that a sunny Saturday afternoon brings to downtown Laguna Beach. As we took a little breather during their engagement session, I had the pleasure of hearing Jessica and Jim's story... I must say that is what I adore about photography... hearing the story, capturing the love, and retelling it through my lens. I watched as their faces lit up recounting how they met and how they came to be. The sappy-overly romantic-chick flick-watching girl in me exclaimed, "Your story like totally reminds me of a movie!!!" Side note: Sometimes I turn into a 16 year old valley girl when I get excited {WINK}. I saw the wheels turn in Jim's head after my outburst. Imagine my relief when he looked over at Jessica and said "When Harry Met Sally!!!" Whew, my over-enthusiasm was not lost on these two. {HAHA!} Jim and Jessica had come in and out of each others lives over the years... bumping into each other through mutual friends. The timing, however, never seemed to be quite right... until that night Jessica went to go watch Jim's band perform... and the rest, as they say, is history.
Enjoy a few of my favorites from Jessica and Jim's Laguna Beach engagement session...
Jim and Jessica plan to have a vintage library themed wedding in July... I can't wait to see what fabulous details will be incorporated into their big day! Speaking of fabulous details, I'm SO thrilled to be working with Candice of De-Lovely Events!
Thank you so much, Jessica and Jim... you're two genuine people, genuinely in love... and I'm so honored to be a part of such an amazing time in your lives!
I love, love, love these pictures of 2 very special people in my life!
