Beach Engagements

In exactly one month, these two little love birds will finally be married! And with that, my only semi-kidding life goal of being a successful matchmaker will be complete. To help Nicole and Jordan get to the finish line, I took their engagement pictures last month. The first location was Laguna Beach -- the same place where Jordan popped the question 18 months ago. Apparently this is a hot spot for pictures, because there were no less than seven professional photographers there doing their thing, which made me feel a little silly in all my amateur-ness. But luckily for me, my sister and her fiance are incredibly gorgeous and photogenic, which made my job terribly easy. Observe:
Part two coming tomorrow!

  7. Aw, thanks! They really are such a beautiful couple.

    Lindsay- I mostly just use Photoshop for basic edits (think brightness/contrast). I have the sun to thank for the lighting :) That hour-ish before sunset is so lovely! I did actually try out a reflector to even out shadows on their faces in a some pictures and was really happy with how it worked out.

    And if you ever wanna go pro on the matchmaker thing you can make a match for me :) Just carve out some interview/recon time with me when you guys come visit Utah ;)

    Sorry I'm being silly. I'm a Higley, it comes with the territory, just ask Matt.

  12. Ash, I've been meaning to tell you that I've been DYING over the pictures Nicole has been posting on her blog! They are SO GOOD! Seriously, I love all of them. But ESPECIALLY the airport ones. I am totally, completely in love with them. They are so perfect! The styling, the old fashioned suitcases, everything about it I love love love. You are fantastic. Great great job!
