Matt & Ashley's Adventure Engagement- Point Reyes, CA

My oh my, these two. What a fantastic pair of people.Ashley and Matt contacted us a few months back, wondering if we had any interest shooting their wedding that will be taking place this summer, in the Redwoods of California. From that first email, our excitement has only grown, not only for being privileged enough to be a part of their wedding day, but for the opportunity we've been given to get to know the two of them, little by little over emails, and then finally in person.A few weekends ago I was lucky enough to fly out to San Francisco and shoot Matt and Ashley's engagement session. Ashley and I talked quite a bit about what she was hoping the session would look like, and I could not have been more happy when she came back with the idea of taking me to a bunch of the places they like to take friends who are visiting from out of town. We decided a more fitting term would be an adventure engagement session; an afternoon hanging out, touring their apartment, meeting their kitty Mora, driving up beautiful route 1, eating oysters at Point Reyes, visiting Nick's Cove, and taking photos all the while. It sounded like a dream, and truly, it was.There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful these two are, or how great of an afternoon I had with them.Thank you, Matt and Ashley. Eric and I could not be more excited for your wedding this June. (and Eric is quite excited to get to meet you both in person!)IMG_9872Fat black cat sitting on table
