Hailey + Joe // ENGAGEMENT

There is nothing more thrilling than finding a love that will stand the test of time, nor anything more wonderful and exciting than celebrating it through the promise of marriage. Joe and Hailey have the type of love that most people hope for and dream about, the type of love that is real and genuine....

Marin, my lovely, you captured Hailey and Joe beautifully. I love the sweet smiles and emotion in the bottom two images, and adore the fun in all the rest!!! Great job.

Tracy - March 15, 2011 - 9:34 pm

Snow is fun! Love these Marin.

Hailey - March 15, 2011 - 10:18 pm

WOW!! I love the blog and I think you did a perfect job documenting the torture Joe thinks is funny, lol. But on a serious note I appreciate that you were able to magnify the special, intimate moments Joe and I shared in the midsts of our silly snow adventure that day. Our close friends and family know how strong our bond is, but through these photos, you’ve captured how we feel for one another, and now everyone may see!! Anyway, Thanks for taking a risk and helping to make everything turn out the way we always wanted!!

I LOVE this shoot! I love the colors, the textures, the couple, the styling, the compositions, everything! You’re amazing at what you do Marin; Seriously, incredible.

I’m so thankful that we’re friends now and that I get to be inspired by such an amazing woman and photographer. :)

Marin Kristine - December 9, 2010 - 7:19 pm

Ah, Jennifer – I feel exactly the same way about you :) Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words, they bless my heart so much. As for this post, I really like all the textures in this part of the session as well. We were headed to the beach, but the sun decided to come out last minute (therefore blinding light!) so we headed over to these weeds as a last minute location choice. I love how the orange in the background compliments her hair so much, and that sage bush was soooo cool. This local was honestly a Godsend. Such a fun session, I cannot wait to share more throughout the week.

Marin – you are so talented! I got a text from my friend tonight, saying you had posted the photos and I could not rush home faster to see them! Erik and I appreciate EVERYTHING you did for us for this shoot, choosing our story first of all of course, then driving to monterey, helping us choose locations, hanging out after – such a fun day! And everyone is right, your lighting and the colors look amazing. I loved the sage bush when you spotted in, but i think i love it even more seeing it now.

Can’t wait to see Chapter 2 :)

THANK YOU

beautiful photos…for two beautiful people..inside and out….

Today and everyday

“Marry me, today and every day…” – as those words poured out of the radio (in the car just 10 minutes after their session) I was immediately covered in a blanket of goose bumps. How could this moment be any more perfect? I had never heard this song before, and the lyrics just captured my...

Mindy A - November 4, 2010 - 8:54 pm

Oh my, totally choked up. And then she gets teary in that one shot and I was a goner. Beautiful details. Congrats to them, 10 years and they look like they just fell in love. All over again. Wonderfully done Marin.

Tracy - November 4, 2010 - 10:16 pm
