Never underestimate the power of the Blog…

I don’t think Nicole and Josh will ever read a blog without thinking of how they met.

They each had friends that were friends with each other. And those friends had a blog that Nicole and Josh used to read. And every now and then, as people sometimes do when a blog post hits a nerve or makes them smile, Nicole would leave a comment. And when Josh read the blog post, he’d sometimes check out the comments to see who, besides him, was following this person’s stories. When he found Nicole’s comments, his interest was piqued. Her words were insightful and relevant and showed a person with a sense of humor and intellect. Through her comments, he found the link to her blog and read it too. And then he contacted her to tell her he thought she was pretty fantastic. When they finally decided to meet in person, they both knew they had found The One.

After dating for a bit, Nicole moved to San Diego to live near the ocean, but especially nearer to Josh. They got engaged and began planning the wedding. And while walking through their seaside neighborhood one evening, they saw a photographer getting ready to shoot an engagement session. They pulled that photographer aside and asked for her card and told her they had just gotten engaged.

And that is how I met Nicole and Josh.

It’s amazing to me how we come to know our friends. Through Fate or a string of coincidences we are somehow drawn to people who we know nothing about, but fall as easily in with them as if we had known them forever. That’s how it is with Nicole and Josh. They are warm and friendly and quick to laugh. They have amazing chemistry with each other that I could only attempt to capture in photographs. Our afternoon at the beach was so much fun… I can’t wait for their wedding!

Thank you so much for the beautiful afternoon by the ocean. That sunset was incredible… and so were those cupcakes!Â:)

Oh my god, these are great! What a radiant couple. You did such an amazing job with these.

[...] Nicole and Josh are super rad.  And super rad people deserve a super long blog post.  It’s a rule somewhere, I think. [...]
