joanna & kyle: florida engagement session.

i can't tell you how happy it made me to see someone i love so authentically happy. joanna and i met the same summer that jesse and i met. we worked together too, and became fast friends. she was like an old comfortable friend even though we'd only known each other for a couple months; we have too many fun memories to count. 

a few months ago, she asked me if i'd photograph her wedding & her engagement photos. i excitedly obliged for many reasons two of which are that she's one of my favorite people in the world and she's getting married in one of my favorite places in the world. luckily, i was there for my honeymoon last week so we met up and took these photos. it was my first time meeting kyle & i was more than impressed. you must understand joanna is one of the most lovable people. she's bright and beautiful and funny and real. she deserves someone equally as amazing, and she found him. 

i still haven't stopped talking about how happy i am that she will marry someone who adores her and cares for her - deeply. kyle is gentle, heartfelt, and genuine. i loved watching them BE together. there is so much light in their relationship, laughter, affection, and big happy love. also, readers beware: i will over share in this post because it was nearly impossible to pick favorites. you will see, they are pretty much the cutest couple that ever lived.

  2. Hi Ali, just clicked over here from 365 - W O W !!! These are amazing! I especially love the B&W one where she is laughing so hard, and he's looking over his shoulder at her, the silhouette in front of the sunset, and the 'love' written in the sand. Breathtaking shots, you really captured their love and affection for each other!
