Jaclyn, the bride to be you see here is an amazing wedding photographer herself! We have mutual friends and have met several times over the last decade, but it wasn't until she moved to Los Angeles from Ventura County last year that we really connected and became good friends. For those of you who don't know- being a wedding photographer can be a very solitary job- so having an ally, and even more a FRIEND in the industry is priceless. As our friendship and careers blossom so have our relationships with our partners! by the beginning of 2018 we were both engaged! YAY! Jaclyn and James are an adventurous couple who are always game to explore some place new and different.  We figured what better way to celebrate our two engagements than to hit the road for an epic engagement session exchange! 

We all trekked out to Joshua tree and got a sweet air b n b near the park. Jaclyn and her sweetheart- James were up first and there's really nothing like a desert Sunset is there? We started playing with some bold light right before golden hour and kept going till we were working with the last glow of the sun. After we wrapped, we cheersed beers, and hit the hay. Beauty rest was necessary as mine and Sean's sunrise e-sesh was only hours away! More on that next time....
