Getting to photograph an engagement session before I photograph the wedding is ideal. I love having a couple of hours of building a relationship of trust with the clients. The giant clicking black eyeball of a camera following you around can be really awkward  if not handled carefully. We are all a little camera shy and the last thing I want for clients on their wedding day is to not be at ease with so much camera attention on them. Justin and Samantha wasted no time falling right into a groove of enjoying each others presence and we had a great little walk around Lopez Island.  I look forward to the big day next August!

Here are some of my favorites of the evening.
