This couple is dear to my heart. Nehemiah & Ashley were the first couple I ever captured a wedding for! They have been married for several years and capturing their love was so much fun!
I first met Cait while attending a photography workshop with friends. I was friends with her sister who is a photographer as well. She was there as one of the models. We ended up bonding during that weekend. I was drawn to her sweet nature, free spirit and love for others. She had a sense of adventure and was up for anything! We kept in touch throughout the year and talked often. I asked her to come on for a personal project (which you can see here- http://www.christinamaldonado.com/blog/2014/5/19/all-that-wander-are-not-lostfree-spirit-themed-session. ) We spent the whole day hanging out, having fun and talking about life. This is when she told me about Ethan. They had been "talking" and I could tell that she was head over heels for him. Through out the next few months I was able to watch their love blossom, he was really good for her, treated her well and made her happy. Ethan planned a surprise engagement that involved all their family and close friends, while they were vacationing on the beach. He sang to her and then dropped to one knee...and she said yes!
I was so honored when she told me that she wanted me to be their photographer for their big day! She told me her vision for her engagement session, was "Modern day fairytale." I brought in a styling team to assist with the full vision. They created the most divine set up for her theme, it was beyond dreamy! We had a great time capturing their love that evening. Cait's sister also captured some video of them signing together. Their voices are so beautiful it caused us to tear up. I can not wait to capture their big day in early December!

The last time we saw this adorable family was for their Christmas portraits. Daddy was deployed to Afghanistan but they made sure that we was with them for their session. Now that he is finally home, it was time for a proper family session. They are just so adorable. I had such a great time capturing their moments!
I am excited that my business has been growing and changing over the last several months. I have unrolled a new brand and with that comes change. I now have a new blogging platform and my old blog will be retired. Fret not, you still can access it here!
I look forward to providing you with new and exciting content!
