San Juan Capistrano Engagement : Daniela+Brady

It was one sentence and it changed the trajectory of her life. But before she believed a few words could change her mind, Daniela promised to stay away from dating and mend her broken heart. One night she went out with a group of friends and met Brady on a dance floor and they threw their arms up–from the windows to the walls–and though they had a ball, Daniela slipped away without giving Brady what he wanted: her phone number.

Daniela remained elusive, but their paths occasionally crossed, so Brady sent her a Facebook message. Short, sweet notes floated through her inbox for a few months, but the more he pushed forward, the farther she pulled back. Her heart was stitched together with the thinnest string and she wasn't ready to hand it over.

After months of correspondence and the occasional spin on the dance floor, Brady sent her a message that read: Let's eat fried pickles and ice cream and walk around the lake together…

And that? Well, that was all it took for her heart to jump out of her chest and into the hands of a man who was smitten with her the moment he set his eyes on her.

Brady recounted meeting Daniela and when asked what was particularly special about her in comparison to other girls, he smiled small. His lips lifting at the corners. She's the type of girl you want to spend forever with, a girl you want to take home and introduce to your family…

Brady and Daniela are getting married in Guelph, Canada and we couldn't be happier to document their wedding…their love is nothing short of infectious…

I'm particularly honored to shoot their wedding because Daniela and Brady are wedding photographers, so I know the pressure is ON! 😉

Many, many thanks to Beauty by Melina for prettifying Daniela's hair and makeup for her engagement photos…

One of my favorite things about Daniela and Brady is their readiness for a good time. They love big, laugh loud, and invite others around them to share in their joy…

After a quick outfit change, we roamed around San Juan Capistrano for more engagement photos…

Couldn't love them any more than I do…
