Vanessa + Adam [San Luis Obispo Engagement Session]

I met Vanessa & Adam on a gorgeous spring afternoon in Cayucos. As the music of a jam session drifted through the breeze, we talked and I got to know my new friends.
Vanessa and Adam Engagement Photos by San Luis Obispo Wedding Photographer Christan Parreira Friends are something I quickly learned are a staple in the lives of both Vanessa & Adam. Their entire wedding will be surrounded and supported by those they love and invest their time with. This, to me, revealed a spirit about them that was raw, real, and honest in a beautiful way. During the most important day of a couples life, a day when they are saying YES to forever, I believe that these two have it right. They are blessed to be able to ingrain those that will have a deep investment in their marriage at the forefront of all that will surround the day. They will be united, dance to, and fill up by the hands of friends who have come together to help them.

I watched Adam lose himself in his love, his best friend and I saw Vanessa swell with a radiant confidence that a woman who is truly loved and cherished has. To my new friends, I am honored to be a part of putting the moments of your beautiful love into your archives into forever.
