Both Tracy and Lawrence grew up in the Bay Area, so they’ve got a soft spot in their hearts for the Northern California coastline. Lawrence in particular recalls growing up fishing in the chilly waters outside San Francisco. When I asked where they’d like to go for their engagement session, Lawrence didn’t hesitate for a minute before exclaiming “the beach!” And so we made our way north for a stunning Point Reyes Engagement Session.
There are a few secret ingredients for great engagement photos, one of which is a couple that’s up for anything. I knew I’d found that kind of couple when they told me about their first date. After meeting each other online, and the day came to meet each other face to face. What Tracy didn’t know was that Lawrence had hatched a plan to take her to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge. Not every girl would be up for such a high-flying adventure so soon (or ever)! But she played along and kicked off a romance with the gentleman.
Since then, their relationship has taken them across hemispheres and borders to discover new tastes and exotic sights, and deeper into love with each other (Just ask them about their trip to Japan to get them gushing). But It was during a recent journey through Bali that Lawrence pulled out a ring, Tracy said “yes” and they started the next chapter of their adventures.
Speaking of adventures, here are a few of the moments we captured at the Point Reyes National Seashore. From a shipwreck, to a cypress tree tunnel, to sprawling skies and empty beaches, we had the place to ourselves…
These two have got something great going. I’ve got no doubt that married life will be their greatest accomplishment. I could feel their generous spirits are alive and kicking as we rode around the countryside. I can’t wait to see what comes next for Tracy and Lawrence!
