Engagements

We knew Chris was getting to ask Nikki to marry him, but we had no idea exactly when he was going to do it! He had the ring in his pocket for at least 3 days as we all spent the weekend up in Yosemite for Andy & Rachel’s wedding.

Dara saw Chris & Nikki sneaking off and quickly told me to run after them and bring the camera just in case! Good thing I listened to her.

Congrats you guys!!

xoxo,
Austin & Dara

    Since Andy and Rachel are getting married this coming weekend up in Yosemite (yeehee!), we thought we’d post some shots from their engagement a few months back when they were rolling through town.  We went for a walk across the bridge just up the street from our place downtown and had fun taking some photos.  We talked about their wedding and the excitement of life and finished the walk at one of our favorite Mexican places in Santa Barbara called Super Cucas.  MMMmmm Mazanita!

      Long after blogging Dane & Jillie’s awesome Ojai Wedding, we realized that we hadn’t posted these engagement pics yet. Haha, whoops. :)  If you remember, we did write about a heart felt moment we had while editing them, and a lot of those came up again while putting these together.  D & J, if you’re listening: it was a gift to photograph you guys. You’re so genuine, open, and free. Thank you.

        Since these two are getting married next week, we thought – “Hey, why don’t we blog their engagement shoot finally and use some crazy Old English in the blog title?! Yeya!”

        Favorite photos come first of course!

        After some Northstar Coffee with Daniel and Bry, we headed out to find some new spots downtown Santa Barbara…

        Editing these engagement shots today definitely stirred up some excitement in our hearts for these two!

        The classic headlock and ice cream headache shots

        Holding hands - yup, they love each other

        The only time Daniel stands still is when Bry gives him this look!

        Yes, yes, yes!

        When I took this photo, I couldn't stop saying YES!

        I mean, who doesn’t just sit in the middle of the stairs and make out – right?

        a little make out session on the stairs

        Favorite shot of the day:

          First, we established some trust by asking Roni and Britt to stand in the middle of the road :) “I got your back!”

          WATCH OUT FOR THE CAR

          Then, we bought them two houses to start their life off right!

          Two houses, both alike in dignity...

          All jokes aside, we got pretty deep for this photo:

          For this one, I told Roni to really think about his love for Brittany

          Curbside love!Good times on the curb

          Look at that bling bling! Look at that love in her eyes

          Eyes are most beautiful in love:

          Love these shots!

          This ocean view was a special place for these two, and it was the perfect end to the shoot!

          A huge high five goes out to Roni and Brittany!  We can’t wait to shoot your wedding – it’s going to be amazing!
