For the longest time I had dreamed of getting a chance to travel to do what I love, and last month- I finally lived it.

I met Tori and Joe in downtown San Diego and we grabbed coffee before we left for the shoot location. It was awesome getting a chance to know them better and learn about their love story, their friendships, their family and their wedding plans. Tori and Joe first met in highschool band and from there the adventure began. They went to ASU together and loved living there, but Joe’s job as a game designer took him back to California. The plus side to this? Well, they are huge Disney fans and Disneyland is where they got engaged, talk about truly magical!

We spent the afternoon walking along the trail at Los Penasquitos, looking for a waterfall that never existed (haha) and getting beautiful photos of them in between. I am grateful for a chance to have a little adventure with the two of them and start writing their love story. Tori and Joe are two of the most genuine and down to earth people I have met; I am secretly hoping they visit AZ again sooner rather than later so we can hang out again.

And with that, let the “smooching engage” (Joe’s words during our session, and I just couldn’t help but include them in this blog post )
