Lynn and Charles are the sweetest and most down to earth couple ever! They love photography, creating, surfing, and most of all they love each other (which is a pretty huge statement because they REALLY love surfing. :) ). They also have one of the cutest proposal stories ever! Charles and Lynn love photography and like to go out shooting together at night doing long exposures and light painting. One night Charles set up a long exposure shot and wrote something in the frame with a light. When the photo popped up on the back of the camera it read “Marry Me?” Charles proposed with light! What?!?!?! Too cool. Maybe we are overly enthusiastic about the idea as fellow photographers… ::Thinking::… Nope! We are officially declaring it; that idea as objectively awesome! :)
Anywho, Lynn and Charles also love surfing together and nature. So it was natural for us to hike around the hills of Malibu and then wander around the beach with their awesome surfboards.
We have also already shot their fantastic Maravilla Gardens wedding and will be sharing it very soon!
