A Desert Engagement

Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie recently sent in the sweet engagement session of Justen & Andrea and I couldn’t resist sharing some images on Once Wed. Brett and I actually met when I was 17 and by the time I was 19 we were engaged, so whenever I see a young couple in love it brings back so many wonderful memories of us during that fun time in our lives…

Aww, what a sweet shoot and cute couple! I love the photo of them both in the back of the van.

Hi! So excited to see this here! Both the cream and the lavender dress are vintage numbers that I found here in LA! The contemporary clothes are a combo of my personal collection/cheapie stores- I love Papaya! Cheers!

I love the lavender dress it is daring and takes a chance to step out of the conventional box.

This is totally lovely! You did an amazing job of the styling, Tabitha.

They really look good together. I really like the outfit.
I think the best part was when the guy on his guitar and they were together inside the car.
Thanks for sharing, wonderful couple.

This is going to make me sound like a serial killer, but they are just so adorable that I just want to wrap them up in cotton wool and keep them in a box to look at whenever I am a bit sad.
