Say hello. If you have known Micah for at least five years, which I have, you can say you knew him before he was six feet tall. Now he’s pretty much a giant, and Grace, as you can see, is the very essence of the word “petite.” Needless to say, one of the best things about taking their engagement pictures was the height difference.

One of the other great things about their session was a spot Micah knew about, where he used to play paintball with his friends and siblings. It took about five minutes of hiking, and then there was this great little scene, with abandoned cars all overgrown and ready to be photographed. All I can say is that it’s in Vista somewhere, and we’d love to shoot your engagement pictures, too, if you want to know exactly where! :)

As I catch up on blogging here at the end of the 2011 summer wedding season, this is one of those long-overdue sessions that Grace’s friends have already seen on Facebook. We shot their wedding in June, so stay tuned for a deluge of some of our best work yet in an upcoming blog post.

Until then, please enjoy and comment!

Grace and Micah, you guys rock.

They have now been married more than six months, and here, at long last, are the best of their wedding pictures.

We had an amazing time behind the lens with Michael and Noelle, who are both such special, talented and loving individuals; as a couple, they are incredible. It was an honor to be part of your wedding; we love you guys!

Without further ado…

One last shot, a personal favorite…
