Deborah and I had been emailing back and forth for awhile before we finally met. It seemed like every time we scheduled the engagement session, we got rained out – which is no small feat for perpetually sunny southern California. It was really important for Deb to get some sunshine in her images… she wasn’t sure when she would be seeing it again.
You see, when I asked Deb about how Matt proposed to her, she said they had gotten in backwards. They met in school, became friends, and then became a couple. They had been together several years when suddenly Matt’s office moved and he found himself with an amazing job opportunity – provided he was willing to move to London. Matt knew he couldn’t go to live halfway across the world without Deb, so he asked her to come with him and share his home and his life in England. It wasn’t until a few weeks later that he gave her a ring and formally asked her to marry him. However it was presented, Deb and Matt were meant to be together.
So, steeling herself against a few years of cloudy skies and adverse weather, Deb really wanted to get some sunshine in her engagement photos. And after a few false starts, the weather didn’t disappoint. As you saw from the previous peek, the light was amazing that day. And the location was so cool… this semi-secluded canyon where you could see for miles – all the way to the ocean. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Thank you, Deb & Matt for such a wonderful afternoon. I can’t wait for the wedding!
