Mendocino Coast Bridal Session Kenzie + Carter | Mendocino California Intimate Wedding Photographer

They met in highschool and it was love at first sight for Kenzie. Their friendship developed over several years and eventually they became a couple. When Kenzie became pregnant at 19, she and Carter decided that whatever life threw their way, they were going to get through it together. Their son was born in January 2019. They knew that their lives together were just beginning and that they were ready to make a forever commitment. In February they had an elopement ceremony with immediate family and a week put their wedding attire back on and took an adventure to the beach with me. There would have been a big party with family and friends sometime in the next month or so but COVID-19 forced them to postpone their plans. Here’s what Kenzie told me about how she feels right now:

”I am so incredibly lucky to not only call this man my husband, but the most amazing daddy to our son. We can’t wait to grow our family & fall further in love!”

She describes it as “nothing fancy, just love” and I think that is perfect for the times we are in. The way you feel about your person doesn’t change just because you can’t have a big fancy wedding. The way you love each other is all that truly matters.

I was blessed to be able to frolic on the beach with these two one last time before Shelter in Place orders went into effect. We had so much fun and I truly cherish our time together. Thank you for allowing me to document your love Kenzie and Carter. May your love grow stronger and your family flourish!

Ok, now seriously, don’t waste another minute reading, check out the gorgeous moments we were able to create during their bridal session! Whaddya think? I’d love to hear in the comments!
