What’s a guy to do when he owns his own gym (or 2) and he’s the personal trainer n’all and this particular clients so dang cute & he’s gotta stay profesh? Well there’s a whole lot more to this story and it took a wee while but I think Chris’s answer would be “marry her”. So here’s a super quick sneaky peek into their day yesterday.
Heres how to throw a wedding S&C , seriously the BEST sounds, super relaxed super chill vibes, a whole lotta let’s just get married and party at the same time.

Story time!
Here’s to Kelsey & Lance (who I have a strong feeling are in for a lifetime of adventures) ☺️ We were having the best time at my local beach doing an engagement shoot when Kelseys engagement ring fell off her finger (right at waters edge with waves coming over) 😭🌊

We could NOT find it 😰

I learned their rings had been custom made by a Ukrainian artist with a map that fits to each others as their both from opposite sides of the earth! 🥹…
Are you kidding me’! 🥺
Then I see Lance sliding a shell ring onto her finger which she gracefully accepted as a replacement …
“Oh come on... could you two be any sweeter”!

I got back home & trying to locate a metal detector to get back the next morning and try my best for them as they’re from out of town. After an hour or so I found a local who suggested we meet back at the beach which was now 10pm! We both knew there was another tide coming in this was our best shot. So I’m waiting on a darkened sand dune flashing my lights like a drug dealer and off we trek. Corey (our hero) & I found my driftwood I’d lined up and he started grid searching like a pro all the while putting up with my useless chatter. 😆 After about 3 false hopes and our fourth hole … that beautiful beep just kept on beeping… and there it was!! 🙌🏼
I think the funniest thing was Corey saying “are you sure it’s it”! That earned him an uninvited hug I was bouncing with excitement!
Sending that text to Kelsey felt flippin good! So a MASSIVE massive thanks to Corey who willingly pulled himself from the couch on a Sunday night to fill some hearts with joy and relief. I’m SO looking forward to working with this sweet sweet couple (who are possibly looking at getting the ring resized) 😆💍🤍

My clients sometimes pull some pretty rad stuff. You may have heard of ‘first look’ before the wedding ceremony? Well Zoe and Jesse opted for first touch! Thats right they had the sweetest moments together all the while not even seeing each other… they held hands whilst reading the most heartfelt messages. 😭 And HATS OFF to them they even managed a hug while keeping their eyes closed! Now THAT was impressive, sweet, heartfelt and all of the above! 🤍
