The Mission at San Juan Capistrano - Engagement Photography

rachael & ryan are tying the knot soon... in about 12 days, to be exact...

...and i couldn't be more excited to join them for their intimate wedding at the shade hotel in manhattan beach, styled by the fantastic carissa of jl designs.

about two weeks ago, we met in down town san juan to spend a couple hours of the late afternoon together, and it was perfect. rachael and ryan have natural ability: the ability to be natural.

you might think most of us have it, but that particular ability is often challenged once a camera, and a rather large camera at that, starts snapping away just inches from your gaze. but rachael & ryan needed little direction. we simply enjoyed the late afternoon together, and happened to grab a handful of awesome engagement photographs in the middle of it all.

rachael & ryan, you two are incredibly kind with a wonderful sense of calm about the both of you. i can't wait for the big day in just a matter of days...
