It started in yoga. Once a week turned into three workouts a week because, as Joe recounts, he liked “the view”. Ahem. Natalie always considered Joe a friend once she left her job. A couple years earlier–after being recruited for a new job–Natalie walked into a bright Human Resources office and extended her hand to Joe.

When their hands touched, Natalie looked at Joe and felt as if she'd met him before. As years passed their paths crossed sporadically and they danced along a fine line of I wonder…

On whim, Natalie invited Joe to yoga class. A few weeks of yoga, deep stretching, and a great view, Joe cancelled Friday night plans with his friends and met Natalie in Huntington Beach. Destiny intervened that night later turned into a marriage proposal.

I'm incredibly excited for their wedding later this year since we had a blast at their engagement session last week here in Orange County…

One of the best things about Natalie and Joe is their ability to connect, deeply, at the briefest touch, glimpse, or whisper…

The steps leading to their bikram yoga studio…and the sunlight made for a lovely engagement session…

Natalie, you're beautiful. That is all.

We headed to Newport Beach to take more engagement pictures at sunset…
