Don’t get me wrong, I always love meeting new clients, but it is a ton of fun for me to get to work with friends of mine! Matt and I played basketball together, so to come full circle and be able to photograph his wedding is awesome. We had a blast shooting engagement photos and popping champagne in Malibu last week, which I know is just a preview of the good times to come at their wedding in July!
Matt and his beautiful bride-to-be Noelle grew up in the same town (my hometown) of Moorpark, California, and were acquaintances for a few years. When they were seventeen, they went to a movie night with some of their mutual friends. Instantly hitting it off, they’ve been together ever since.
Years later, Matt took Noelle to her favorite French bakery for breakfast and then on a hike/picnic in the sawtooth mountain range in Idaho. Hiking to the first of four alpine lakes, Matt carried a huge picnic basket the entire way, and once they got they arrived, he got down on one knee and popped the question!
