Inspiring, hospitable, joyful, pleasant, FUNNY, caring, excited, purposeful….I’m not ordinarily one that gets excited about words.  But there are so many GOOD ones that describe, not just one of this couple, but both!  I was the lucky one to spend the afternoon getting to know these two even better.

Purposeful: we spent our evening at their family ranch and ended at the beach where they became engaged.

Joyful: can’t ya tell??  They are a pretty good definition of it!

Isaiah, you’re a blessed man!!

Pleasant: who wouldn’t want to hang out with them at the ranch??

I really didn’t tell them to smile, this is just who they are!

Excited: about life and being together.

Caring: Isaiah carried Hannah’s shoes and even tried to carry my bag while we were on the beach.

I think hearts will follow Hannah and Isaiah wherever they go.

Hospitable: at the end of it all, we packed up and drove off to the local Dutch Bros. where they treated me to a coffee.  You two are the best!!!

I’ll begin by talking about the weather. That’s what I do when I don’t know where to start, right?!? It’s a totally ‘legit’ thing to share about the weather on this particular JANUARY day at the Oregon Coast, because it was phenomenal! Sun and NO WIND made the afernoon one of the most beautifully clear and pleasant days I’ve spent at the Oergon coast in years. And it is just the right way to start off Abi and Micah’s engagement photos!

Before even getting the beach, we spent an hour in car getting to know one another a little better. I was struck by a couple things right off. Abi and Micah, before even meeting, shared the same dreams and goals for life. And it’s easy to see how excting and joyful it was for them to meet someone that had the same vision.

Their joy for life is also evident. It’s strong, purposeful, and they are more than willing to share. I came away from a few hours with them energized and happy to be alive. Abi and Micah, you are a dream to spend time with!!

And just because I can’t help but go on about the weather, it was sooooo clear and crisp (not cold, just good sweatshirt weather!) with the warm sun on the face…mmmmm…what a day!!
