Yay for happy engagement shoots, sunny spring days, and natural love. Mandi and Shane are the depiction of what love looks like - not overdone, not presumptuous, just two people who are meant to be! And with pictures from one of my favorite California photogs, Lindsey Gomes, how could they go wrong?
Read on to learn a bit more about these two lovelies…
From Mandi: Shane and I met through a mutual friend. I ran into Shane at the fair, he was with a group of friends, we started talking and next thing we knew, we had a date planned for the next day. We continued hanging out and started dating a couple weeks later. A year and half into our relationship we got engaged, on our weekly date night. I had an idea that an engagement may have been coming, but I didn’t realize it would have been that night. He took me to The Sea Venture hotel in Pismo, for dinner and afterward we went down to the beach. It was the beginning of December and you could see a Christmas tree of lights at the end of the pier…When I turned around he was down on one knee :)
We chose Lindsey as our photographer because our best friends Katie and Jason were going to use her for their upcoming wedding, and we had heard nothing but great things. I love the lighting in her pictures, and that she makes taking pictures fun. According to Shane she’s a “ninja”. She’s great at capturing the unexpected moments, which are our favorites!
PS - sun spots are my favorite thing. Ever.
Cannot wait to see your wedding pics in less than a month!! All the best :)
