Wendy + Aaren [Shell Beach, CA Wedding]

This summer I got to shoot a destination wedding at home with Wendy & Aaren. An amazing couple who actually calls the beautiful state of Georgia home, came to the Coast to make their vows official, and I have to say, seeing my backyard through another couples eyes makes me fall in love with where I live even more!
Because Wendy & Aaren lived so far away, we didn’t have a chance to built our friendship until a couple of days before, but it sure didn’t feel that way. Their warm spirits and friendly entourage made me feel like I was a part of their family.It is always amazing to me to watch a wedding unfold. There are so many dynamics, so many elements, so many emotions and I just get to go along for the ride. Above anything else that day though, Wendy & Aaren seemed to exude this supreme joy that transcended all else; this joy that allowed them to LAUGH & make me laugh in return, a joy that allowed them to get lost in celebration both privately and shared.
Wendy & Aaren, thank you for inviting me into your day. I am touched by your kindness and am blessed to have been a part of your day.
