Malorie and I met back when I was doing hair and makeup in a salon in Orange County, CA.  Our stations were right next to each other and both of our bubbly personalities made us become fast friends.  Fast forward quite a few years and she is one of my best friends.  When Chris finally proposed to Malorie,  I was so honored to have her ask me to be their photographer.  Malorie and Chris are the kind of couple you want to be best friends with.  Their love for each other is so playful and honest that it makes you feel loved just being around them.  They live by the beach and wanted to honor their love of the ocean while still keeping to a stylized whimsical feel for their session, so we thought: what better way to do it than to bring part of the beach lifestyle to one of my favorite locations.  So we did.  We rented a boat,  Chris built us a tent frame, we dressed it up and stuck it in an old orange grove in Corona.  I love everything about this session.  I love the colors, the light and the set up, but most of all, I love these people.
