Engaged! | Kate + Dave | Ocean Beach, San Diego, California

I’m going to start this post out by making a disclaimer: Kate and Dave are really good friends of ours…so much so that I refused to photograph their wedding (I believe in being fully present when my closest friends get married, not behind a camera and worrying about f-stops.) Kate agreed that me being their wedding photographer wouldn’t be ideal anyway since I would be one of her bridesmaids…so there you go. The reason I’m telling you this? Because this is your fair warning that I’m about to gush about how great Kate and Dave are. If you can’t stand gushing, you best move on to the slideshow and pics.

Here are ten reasons, in no particular order, why I love Kate and Dave:

1) Michael and I laugh, a LOT, when we’re with them. At silly things, at stupid things, at witty things….all sorts of funny goes on with these two.

2) They laugh with their bellies. I love people who laugh with their bellies.

3) They are both incredibly thoughtful and engaged in the world. As much as we laugh together, we also have a lot of deep conversations about politics, religion, family, leadership, etc.

4) We can spend two hours stuck in our car with them at the Del Mar fairgrounds parking lot and not get bored.

5) Every time we get together with them, I walk away with at least something that makes me giggle the next time I think about it…and it would probably make no sense to anyone else. Here are examples: a) Run little bunnies, run! b) Prince was not in The Color Purple. c) Anne Frank was attacked by zombies.

6) They both want to do good in the world. And they do.

7) Kate and Dave have a connection that makes me believe in love.

8) Kate doesn’t push me away when I give her a big “you’re so great” hug in the middle of Old Navy.

9) When we go to their house for dinner, the wine is plentiful and they put dessert out first.

10) They have helped me to feel like San Diego is home.

Enjoy the sneak peek….because KATE AND DAVE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!
