chelsea + nico

What can I say about Chelsea and Nico? They are two of the loveliest, most genuine people I have ever met. They are so ridiculously in love, and I had an amazing time documenting their love story at the sand dunes near Santa Barbara, California. I’ve done quite a few engagement sessions at the sand dunes, and you might say that I’m a tad obsessed! It is definitely one of my favorite locations on the west coast.

Wilder Floral Co. provided the amazing bouquet, which perfectly complemented the neutral color palette of the sand dunes and Chelsea’s flowy Free People dress. The fog rolled in right towards the end of the session – so I didn’t get the sunset I was hoping for – but it was still a gorgeous evening with these two lovebirds!
