I think, no, I KNOW, they were incredibly nervous.  Because they told me.  But I wouldn’t have really known it if they hadn’t told me. They seemed to just have fun with each other.  Laugh & just be with each other.  Alex & Jason are simple fun.  Enjoyable fun. 

We met at The Malibu Country Mart on Friday to shoot their engagement session, a mere two weeks before the wedding!  The day was fun & perfect & everything that I hoped it would be. And from what Paola & Alex have told me about the wedding, I can only imagine and totally amazing and perfect wedding day.  Simple & enjoyable fun dressed in a vintage shabby chic outfit. I could not be more excited.

It really struck me while we were shooting how differently couples interact with each other.  How the feeling is the same.  The relationship similar.  But the manifestation of that relationship so different.  The way the world sees that relationship so different.  I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to learn about these relationship when I shoot.  To discover my clients as people and as a couple.  For the psychologist in me, it’s pure heaven. 

Alex & Jason – Thank you for such an enjoyable afternoon!  I know you think you were tough ones, but I think the images tell a super different story.  You’re fantastic and I can’t wait for the wedding (in eleven days!).  See you soon!

Moira Taylor did Alexs’ makeup and she looked incredible!
