They always say that the person you end up with was right in front of your face the whole time. This is literally the case for Michelle and Daniel! Although they grew up less than a mile apart, they never met until they had a little help from their moms. One Sunday, Michelle’s mom realized she had followed a car all the way from home to church. She asked the woman in the car about it and learned that they were neighbors! They hit it off and after a few months decided to introduce their kids, and the rest is history!

Michelle and Daniel have some beautiful fall Laguna Beach engagement photos! Michelle and Daniel found me on their venues preferred vendor list. I just LOVE when brides book me from their vendors preferred list because all of the lists I am on I just can’t get enough of those venues! The moment Michelle and Daniel came into my office I knew it was going to be a great fit. Michelle is a sweet kind girl and Daniel is so excited to be marrying her and be a part of all the details! Gah I love an involved groom. We met up in Laguna Canyon to start their shoot and boy it did not disappoint! I love fall, we may not get the crazy color changing leaves like they do back east but we get a little bit of pretty yellow in the trees! These two were troopers, it ended up being almost 90 degrees that day which meant the gnats came out at full force that day. Between swatting them away we were able to capture some beautiful moments! We then headed to the beach in Laguna to capture them in a second more casual outfit. There wasn’t much of a sunset that evening because the fog was rolling in but it was overcast which makes for the BEST beach photos! I cannot wait to spend the day with these two at Seacliff this September!
