beth and todd:
they love deeply and honestly
and treasure each other in such a unique way.

usually the first inquiry for wedding photos comes from the bride.
it's usually an email with a brief synopsis of their location and date, asking if i'm available.
well, with beth and todd it was different----
todd called me.
i love that.
and he shared their entire engagement story,
everything from the sailboat he rented them to the moment on the cliff when he got the ring out of his backpack and proposed.  i love engagement stories.... no matter how elaborate or simple (and theirs was ELABORATE!), they always move me.  that big pinnacle moment.... its a big deal. and i love hearing about it.

anyway.  so.
for their engagement session we went to their favorite park,
a place where they've walked and talked a million times it seems.
the familiar is so good.

Great pics. I love them as a couple soooo much. They are the epitome of a couple who will glorify God in their marriage, and they wouldn't settle for anything less; I love it.
