Lauren & Micheal = Engagement Session!

Engagement Session  |  Lauren & Micheal  |  October 11, 2021

We were looking forward to Lauren & Micheal’s Engagement Session for months – for lots of reasons!!! First, we hit it off with them so easily at an Open House and again over a coffee date that we were SO EXCITED to photograph them. (In fact, for Phillip to agree to photograph a session on his birthday just shows how much we like these two!) Secondly, it’s the first destination Engagement Session we’d photographed in a long time, and we were pumped to photograph somewhere completely NEW to be creative, do the research & planning for & have a challenge!! 🙂

Micheal and Lauren did NOT disappoint. They absolutely ROCKED their session, and we ended up going almost DOUBLE a typical Engagement Session time!!! We just had the best time exploring around with them, and they were up for anything! I expected Lauren to be easily to photograph, but I was blown away when MICHEAL was incredible too! Not only was he SO patient with how many photos we were taking & all the outfit changes he had to make – but he was laughing, smiling, and even whipped out the most smooth (and romantic) dip kiss ever to surprise Lauren! Pretty sure they need to do a dip kiss for their ceremony now too!

Lauren got her makeup professionally done for the FIRST time ever for their Engagement Session, and she looked STUNNING. I also had major hair jealousy! I mean look at those curls!!! They both had put a lot of thought into their outfits. Micheal wanted his to look very classic, very “him” – and Lauren chose beautiful dresses that looked gorgeous not only from the front but the back too! I was just SO OBSESSED!!!!

We had a dark, overcast day – but no rain!!!! Amazingly, by the time we got to the beach the skies were actually CLEARING and gave way to soft blue skies that were like cotton candy. Soooo beautiful!!!

We had the best time with Lauren and Micheal – and feel so honored they chose us to photograph their love story. (Also, they are the absolute sweetest and sent money to treat us to dinner as an extra thank you!!! Like whattttttt – how thoughtful is that?!)

I have SOOOO MANY favorites to share with ya’ll below! ENJOY!!!!

P.S. Thanks to Lashes & Lace for Lauren’s beautiful hair and makeup!
