“When Kalin and Marnie asked me to shoot their engagement session in their favorite place on earth (that just so happens to be my favorite place on earth), I knew I immediately had a bond with these two.
Prior to meeting them in real life, I was touched by their story where their parents were hesitant of their relationship, but also because of Marnie’s diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. These two are the cutest ever, coordinating matching outfits throughout our weekend in our favorite place and still just being absolutely in love after 10 years!” —from their photographer, Emma Johnson of The Bold Americana
