his post is so very special to me. Ever since I met my husband Stephen, I have known his sweet sister, Sarah. These past eight years of friendship have been nothing but fun. Stephen and I met our Junior year of college at Point Loma University. That year, Sarah was accepted to attend PLNU. We were so excited to watch a deserving student join the Loma force. It was such a joy to see more of Sarah around campus. I loved all our talks about boys, burrito runs, spooky hotel stays (only something we know:) and of course what our dream weddings would be like to our best friends. Little did we know that the most exciting day of our lives would be here before we knew it.  
 
Sarah met Ryan her freshman year at Loma during retreat. They, as well as other students studied the word of God together. Sarah noticed quickly all of Ryan's great qualities. After getting to know each other a bit, they parted ways and hoped to see each other on campus. They bumped into one another again in English class and this time, they got to know each other a little bit better. They started dating and since then, they have been inseparable. They studied semester at sea together and have seen more of the world than most people. 
 
Sarah, you emulate beauty that every girl desires to have. You are not only truly stunning but the love you have for life, God and others, truly shines through to everyone that knows you. If there is one thing that I know true about Sarah and Ryan, it is that they are genuine, loving, selfless people who have a contagious love for life. I absolutely adore you both and know without a doubt that you two are meant for each other.  
 
I am so overjoyed to watch you both marry your best friend. Having your best friend beside you makes the good times better and holds you together through the hard times. Sarah and Ryan, THANK YOU for giving me the honor of documenting this special time in your lives. I cannot wait to watch our families grow together! I feel so blessed to be able to stand beside you two this summer as we watch you tie the knot.  
 
Love you guys!
We decided to start the first half of the shoot at the Motte Historical Museum. Sarah has put so much time and energy into making the family museum amazing!
Sarah, YOU ARE GORGEOUS!
We of course had to take the 1931 Cadillac for a spin!
the sunset was spectacular!
The second half of the shoot was spent in Laguna Beach where Sarah knew Ryan was the guy she wanted to marry.
The four of us love sunset cliffs in Point Loma because it's where we met. So it seemed fitting to end the shoot on the cliffs of Crystal Cove.
