Morgan + Joel {San Luis Obispo}

Joel is one of my best friends in the whole world! He was actually the Best Man in my wedding and still retains the title even though he lives several states away. This is the guy who challenged me to live my dreams the year that I went into full time photography during a New Years day road trip.

Joel proposed to Morgan just before Christmas in his favorite book store, Tattered Cover, in Denver Colorado. He wrote her a song in which he told her 'I love you' for the first time and played it for her on his iPhone while they were sitting in overstuffed chairs browsing books. After she listened to his song he gave her a gift; an old book. He had cut into the pages to make room for a pocket watch and wrote on the page, 'Now is the time for love'. Deeper in the book was another cut out space with an antique box holding an antique ring. Morgan thought it was some sort of decorative tile and pulled it out surprised to find an engagement ring in there. The rest is history and I am so excited to be there to document it!

At the bottom of this post is a video Cana Video Productions made of their engagement session with Joel's song as the soundtrack. Be sure to experience that!

















Andrew from CanaVP came out and shot a little engagement movie of our evening shoot. Radical!
