Chico State Engagement: Jason and Ali

We first heard from Jason and Ali last fall. And instantly loved their story.

Jason and Ali met at Chico State their freshman year. And we're pretty sure they have been best friends since. What struck us as so special, is how much they support each other, their love and friendship is so obvious. Jason adores Ali and Ali is Jason's biggest cheerleader, on the court, and off the court. They are genuine people who have welcomed us into their lives with open arms. We are so blessed by them.

So thank you, Jason and Ali, for letting us be a part of your lives. You've become friends and we know that the future holds great things for both of you. Your wedding will be the start of a beautiful life: We are so excited for you!

Much Love, K and K

Aren't they the sweetest?

Jason is on the Chico State Basketball Team, and because it is such a big part of their life, we thought it was fitting to end the night here, outside the gym.

Chico State Engagement Photos: Ryan and Kathryn

I first heard from Kathryn last year. Even by her emails, I could tell that she was a very sweet person. And Ryan is the same way. They are the kind of people that make you comfortable in your own skin. The kind of people are excited about life. I just love that.

And because these two met in the music department of Chico State, it seemed only fitting that we document some of their engagement session right where it all started. We have definitely used this campus often, but it seems like every couple brings a totally different personality and look to the campus.

Ryan and Kathryn, you are wonderful people. Your thoughtful notes over the last few months, have encouraged us so much. Thank you for laughing with us and sharing part of your life with us. Thank you for  being willing to work with us and for making beautiful photos! You bless us!

We can't wait for your wedding, friends!

Much Love,

K and K

Kathryn, you are beautiful!

And among the 101 reason why we get along: We all love Starbucks!

Chico State Engagement: Calen and Courtney

To this day, I still get so excited anytime a couple emails us about photography. We just feel so honored. So I definitely mean it when I say we were so excited to work with Calen and Courtney. Calen and Courtney live in Southern California, so we first met them on the day of their engagement session. But it felt like we had known them longer. They are the kind of people who make the best out of every moment. They are ambitious, generous and we just loved getting to know them. They are great people, and even better together. They met at Chico State and we wanted to make sure that was a part of their photographs. Let's just say the campus couldn't have been more beautiful. Seriously, we were blessed with some amazing fall weather and fall colors that day.

Thank you SO much Calen and Courtney. Thank you for letting us be a part of this season of your life. You really are beautiful people, inside and out.

Much Love, K and K

Courtney, you are beautiful...

Chico Engagement Photographer: Ben and Lauren

Every time we finish photographing an engagement session, two things happen: Our cheeks hurt from smiling and we feel like we have new friends. And this is how we feel about Ben and Lauren.

Perhaps it is that they seem like they are best friends and we can relate to that. Perhaps it is because they are some of the nicest people we know. Or maybe it is just because they are so down to earth and we could talk for hours. Whatever it is, we like these two. And they are definitely perfect for each other!

Thank you so much Ben and Lauren. We are more than honored to be a part of your wedding day. You are the best of people with the best of personalities. We are so blessed to know you both.

Much Love, K and K

You two... Just amazing!

Lauren, you are stunning...

Ben, you are such a good sport. Seriously.

Cheers you two! We can't wait for your wedding!

Chico Engagement Photographer: Ben and Lauren Tease...

I know what you all are thinking: There have been a lot of teases on my blog lately. I know, I know. What a fantastic, crazy life.Of course, this also means that I am now officially on lock down -- in my office, jamming to the best of James Morrison and getting this editing done. And this is where I will be all week :)

As for this couple -- I don't even know where to start. Only that they are an amazing couple, destined to do great things in this world. together.

Ben and Lauren, you are so sweet! Thank you so much for laughing with us yesterday. We are blessed.

There will be many more photos to come... K and K
