Alex & Doug are free spirited, light hearted, fun loving people whose life is lived fully. They are the type of people that you'd want to travel the world with... and to me, that is saying a lot. They know how to have a good time. Alex & Doug call San Francisco home, but will be having their 2010 wedding in the best city in the world... Seattle ;). Chris and I are so excited to be a part of their big day. They are really a great fit for us and after spending 90 minutes with them on their session, I am already in love with the spirit they bring into this world.
Doug is a big time surfer... I suppose that explains the hair that is prettier than mine.. all surfer "dudes" seem to have divine hair ;). When Chris and I lived in Hawaii and were surfing frequently a few years back, Chris' hair was almost down to his shoulders and I tell you, he truly had "locks of love." It must come with the territory because it is the only explanation that seems reasonable for guys hair that is that great. ;) And Alex is the snowboarder of the family... She is smart, witty and totally adventurous. They are lovers of life and love to travel. They went down to Costa Rica and Nicaragua to surf and live for a few months... because that is what you do when you love life and want to squeeze every last bit of goodness out of it! I love that kind of abandonment! People like Alex and Doug inspire me. They are kindred spirits and were soo very fun to photograph.
Now I must get to cooking.... soo much to cook in so little time.. wish me luck, I'm not very domestic as they say. ;)

I love these photos. The couple looks so relaxed and happy! I love the set with the leaves, what a lovely backdrop.
These are fantastic! I love the carefree energy they have! Maybe these two can give me some tips on my trip to Nicaragua this winter. Maybe I'll come back a surfer girl.... only wish I was that athletic! I'll hope for the hair instead, that's more realistic!
