Seth and Elena met in eighth grade and have been together for 11 years!! LOL WHUT. Seth sealed the deal and proposed to Elena this April in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The love they have for each other is so easy to see and I’m so stoked that I have the honor of photographing their wedding next June!!

We chose to do their engagement session at China Beach and this September evening was so perfect, we pretty much had the whole beach to ourselves. Someone did call the cops on Zeus (most likely jealous of his gorgeous golden locks) which was a bit of a bummer. Thankfully he was able to get in a few zooms before he was banished to the parking lot.

This was my first time using smoke bombs and now I’m hooked!
