We’re baaaaaaack!  It never fails.  Every year we get our “summer vacation,” only it’s in the winter.  It’s when Ian and I have a quiet few months of no weddings.  But during that time we are feverishly editing feature films, working on the business, spending time with family, and working on our new house (blog post to come soon!).  We also have a couple random shoots here and there.  This on features Matt & Hollie.  We adore Matt & Hollie.  Not only are they amazingly cool people and drop dead gorgeous…but they are also family.  Matt is my youngest cousin and Hollie has been a part of this family for years.  The two of them together have to be the most easy going couple that has ever existed on this planet.  No joke.  We cannot wait to photograph and film their wedding at Calamigos Ranch in June.  Until then, please enjoy their Santa Barbara engagement photos.

Jayme is one of my many cousins.  She is so much fun, so full of love, and just one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.  Her and Mitchell had been dating a while by the time I met him.  And I must say that he is great.  My family is a very large, rambunctious, and loud group full of love…and he fits right in.  Seeing him and Jayme together is amazing.

Last year we started planning a trip to Sunriver, OR for our grandpa’s 80th birthday.  We all couldn’t wait to get up there and celebrate.  Little did we know that we would be celebrating an engagement as well!  Mitchell took Jayme on a long walk around the river and they took a break at a bench.  Before Jayme knew it, Mitchell was asking for her hand in marriage.  And soon enough…Mitchell will be an outlaw (that’s what we call in laws in this family).

He couldn’t have picked a more beautiful place to propose.  So they asked to take some photos in the place he proposed.  Kudos Mitchell for picking the most beautiful bench in all of Sunriver Resort.  I’m so happy with how these pictures turned out…it was almost worth getting eaten up by the thousands of mosquitos…almost…
