Pine trees make a very specific sound when the wind blows through them, ya know? It's down right magical. It was this sound, and the sounds of Samantha and Jared's giggles that could be heard on this sun-drenched evening. 

If you asked Nate, he'd tell you he adores Julie's golden locks of hair. But, he loves those gorgeous waves so little in comparison to how he loves her heart. Julie says she loves Nate's green eyes, but the soul behind those eyes? Yeah, that's her favorite part.

It took Nick quite some time to work up the courage to send that single Facebook message that changed his entire world - "Would you want to grab a cup of coffee some time?" Little did Nick know, Kenzie hates coffee.

These two share a love that is equal parts playful and serious. The way they cuddle and giggle together? Playful. The way they look at one another and reach for one another? Serious.

It wasn't until college that they both realized this was really it, for real, let's talk it out, let's tell our family and friends, and let's do this thing....cause you are who I want for always.

Samantha caught the bouquet at her best friends wedding.....having no idea the irony of that serendipitous moment!

It's that age old story of paths that crossed often, randomly, frequently like ships in the night, but always at a time that just wasn't quite right....Until one day, when it was.

Amber + Matt are so good together you find it easy to see why their love is so special, and why they come across like the best of friends - because they are the best of friends. Their love runs deep, and you see it in every grin, every twinkle in their eyes, and every single time they reach for one another.

It was Britta's graduation day, and Patrick wanted to take some photos....."Let's take some silly ones!"....Britta cringed....."Why don't we pretend like I'm proposing..." to which Britta scoffed and said "No, not unless you're doing it for real" - and that's when things got serious.

Emily & Jon had been together for a few years when January of 2016 rolled around. That was going to be a special month...Emily just didn't realize it yet. What Emily didn't know quite yet was that Jon had been doing some shopping...and he had picked out the most gorgeous ring, all for her.

They go way back, like way way back. All the way, in fact, to elementary school. 

Jensen Beach was the perfect place to round out their sunny Florida vacation, and it was on that beach that Jeff surprised the heckkkkk out of Jessica...with a gorgeous engagement ring. 

"Oh shoot, who is this..." were the words Michael first said to himself when he saw Ashlie walk in the room. 

Shelley and Travis met on Match.com many years ago, and when they finally met in person, they totally hit it off - but, the timing just wasn't right. They went on their own ways, and then suddenly and randomly ran into one another a few years later -- and then, then my friends, the timing was oh so right.

Two animal lovers brought together by a mutual friend really, really hit it off.

Megan had dubbed Shawn the "creepy barefoot kid" long before they really knew one another...

These two giggled their way through their engagement session doing what they do best, just being together and loving one another.

These two high school, or rather, - middle school sweethearts really, have a gorgeous wedding planned for this September - and after spending an evening with them for their engagement session, I know without a doubt, that wedding day is going to be full of so much JOY, and so much LOVE.
