Mission San Juan Capistrano Engagement Photography - Megan and Dom

mrs. tori sepulveda, my high school art teacher taught me the fine art of laying the foundation before creating a piece of art; the art of priming a canvas. rather than going to town on a stark white surface, she instructed us to throw down a quick wash of color. and for some reason, just that thin layer of paint & water was enough of a foundation to spring a complete, and eventually refined, work of art. and, in those rare spots, void of any further brush stroke, a little color would still show through.

quite like a canvas, i feel it is essential to first know my client's, before attempting to lay out their story in photographs. who are they? not just what do they do... where do they live... what are their occupations... when did they get engaged... those things are all important, but what is more important is who they are. what is there essence.

with great honor, i give you megan & dom. i have been fortunate enough to catch glimpses of their relationship since their introduction. in fact, megan, dom, and myself, all crossed paths at about the same intersection in our lives. and, i pinch myself to think, "what if i had known then..." what if i had known, that just a handful of years later, would megan & dom join their stories into one; their story.

megan & dom, carlie & i love you guys. and to everyone else, here they are: megan & dom.
