we’re often looking for ways to tell a story in a way that’s genuine to our couples. whether it be through photo or cinema, we’re always looking to find what is true and real through our art. the framing, the colors, the textures and all the technical details that make up a particular piece come with purpose. we find that gives the art so much more meaning, for us and for them.

we spent the afternoon with kristen and brian and asked ourselves, what do you see? for me at least, i see warmth and a whole lot of love. it was a rather warm day and when i picked these teaser shots i decided to tone their set of images a tad warmer still because that’s what i felt best represented them. if you’ve met kristen and brian, you know they’re warm and laid back so having their engagement session at the beach with golden colors was very fitting. they also happen to be getting married later this year on the beautiful island of maui so it very much ties into who they are as people too.

so here we go. kristen insisted that we post at least a few teasers for her while we spend some time designing their album and i’m holding up my end of the deal. however, i thought it’ll be neat to really make this set a true teaser where i don’t show their faces. we got such an awesome set of stills for them, i just have to hold back and show only this for now : )
