I met Natalie last year while photographing her identical twin sister’s wedding. Her family was an absolute joy to work with, so when Natalie approached me right after she got engaged earlier this year, I was ecstatic. Although I know it isn’t fair, but I felt like I knew her so well since I had bonded so easily with her sister. We immediately started looking at dates for her and Rob’s engagement session, and we landed on Fort Bragg area. They had rented an Airbnb for a weekend trip in late August and thought it’d be the perfect spot.

I had planned on arriving extra early to do some location scouting, but when Natalie sent me a few photos of this spot that was within a 5 minute walking distance for their house rental, I immediately broke out in my perfect-location-happy-dance. And I think you’ll see why! <3
