Natalie & Ben’s Seaside Engagement Session

001-Manali-Anne-Photography-8204

I grew up in LA and went to high school there so it’s always a treat for me to hear from my old friends once they are engaged. They knew me back in the day when I just the high school dark room nerd.

I am so excited for Natalie, who will be marrying Ben later this year. We had a great engagement photo session, starting at her uncle’s yacht in the Marina Del Rey and catching dusk at the Venice Canals by the end of it. And of course, this being LA and not The Bay, the weather was amazing! Check out some of the sweet moments we captured below. Especially the ones with their adorable little puppy!

That HELL YES feeling⁠
⁠
Hell yes, this is my person⁠
Hell yes, we planned a wedding, and it was harder than we thought, but we survived⁠
Hell yes, we just said our vows in a beautiful place that felt authentic to us⁠
Hell yes to the rest of our lives⁠

S+M got married in the redwoods at Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland, surrounded by friends and family, and it was perfect⁠

Permission to relax. ⁠

The big moments you planned are done, and now it's time to chill and connect with the folks who came out to celebrate with you.⁠

The image is a 35mm film scan with my cute little 90's Konica point-and-shoot. I've been working in more film and having a blast. More film to come.⁠
