DEB.AND.RYAN.::.THE.INTRODUCTION.

they had their first date over four years ago. but it wasn't until this past year that deb & ryan really thought of actually dating each other exclusively. and as you read this, they are probably on the road, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, on their way out to their new life together in the mid-west...

it's pretty amazing how things end up panning out.

deb & ryan are both incredible people [in fact deb & i both share the same birthday which we figured out pretty quickly after meeting two years ago], and carlie & i feel so blessed to have had the chance this last week, to take their photo. i love being able to present our art, their story, on our blog to share with all of you. but even more, i love the time we get to spend with each couple, really... well... just hanging out.

we hung out with deb & ryan at our home church and then made our way down to the balboa peninsula. enjoy the bits and pieces from our time together.




ryan doesn't play games. check out deb's bling. [caution: staring for too long may cause temporary blindness]

one of our personal favorites from the session. i love couples who are proud of their faith, but aren't going to hit you over the head with a bible.

carlie's top pick; deb flossin' some rad kicks.







a lot of times i try to step back to catch it all; take everything in. i will attempt to compose everything to be in perfect relation to everything else. what i love about carlie, is her ability to jump in close, and catch the bits and pieces that make up each moment.

sometimes not telling the whole story helps tell the story.





when i noticed we had an entourage, i had to make sure she got some photo credit on the blog.



per request...






thanks so much you two! whether or not we end up shooting your wedding next spring, it was a blessing to be a part of the process.
