Engagement session amidst the sand dunes of Pismo Beach, California

Caroline, a transplant to California from Ireland, and Kenny a SoCal native met back in September of 2011 when they went out on the town with a group of mutual friends. They had their first date a week later and have been attached at the hip ever since. In 2018, Kenny planned an anniversary trip to Palm Desert, California, where the couple celebrated with a secluded weekend laying by the pool and enjoying the hot springs. Kenny saw the trip as a great opportunity to ask Caroline to be his wife, so he proposed near a lake at the end of the trip. They documented their engagement with Dallas wedding photographer KRYSTLE AKIN at the sand dunes of Pismo Beach, prior to their wedding in Mexico which you can view here.
