They’ve been sweethearts for more than 10 years now, first catching the other’s eye in high school. As the years passed, they watched each other grow, but always together, hand in hand and in love, inching toward the inevitable … a lifetime full of love, happiness and joy, together. Always.

A few months ago we had the pleasure of spending a cloudy afternoon with Carina + Daniel in Malibu. And like many couples taking professional photos for the first time can be a bit nerve wracking, but after just a few snaps, it was clear the longevity of their relationship had created a blanket of comfort and ease between them … sprinkled with fun, laughter and kisses of course 😉

Here are some of our favorite images from this beautiful couple’s engagement session …

Carina is a mixture of sweet, sexy and completely gorgeous and best of all, she knows how to work it in front of the camera ~ I truly cannot wait to see how incredible she’s going to look on her Wedding Day!!!

I love this next capture so so much, I truly thing only real soulmates can bring out this kind of joy in each other …

Hello gorgeous Power Couple … you two are too much 😉

Carina + Daniel, thanks so much for spending the afternoon with us in cold breezy Malibu 😀 We had so much fun photographing you two and we’re so excited to be a part of your Big Day! Oooh and special thanks to my cousin Beulah, who sent this lovely couple our way. Love you cousin, see you at the celebration!!! xoxo
