When they first met, Kim told Joe that she had a list. A Bucket List, to be more accurate. On her list, Kim had listed the things she wants to accomplish in her lifetime. And like a good boyfriend, Joe made it his goal to help Kim check off items off her list. Kim’s list was no easy task to check off because she had items on that list like oh, you know…LEARNING THE FLYING TRAPEZE!!!!! Seems like a daunting goal to check off, but not for Joe. He planned a surprise trip to Oakland where he & Kim took a flying trapeze class! As they began to spend more & more time together, Joe continued to arrange special dates where Kim would be able to check yet another item off her list. After dating & experiencing incredible adventures together, Joe realized that Kim might have another item to check off her list…so he surprised her by flying out to Atlanta & popping the question with a knockout ring. She said yes & they’ve never been happier!
There is something amazingly electric about Kim & Joe. Perhaps it’s the way they laugh when they tell the story of their engagement. Perhaps it’s the way they excitedly talk about their wedding plans. Perhaps it’s the spark between Kim & Joe that is what makes them so electrically fabulous. No matter what it is, all I know is that I looooooooved spending time photographing Kim & Joe for their engagement session! Joe & Kim are adventurous & love to travel & explore new cities. They love spending time skiing, snowshoeing, snorkeling & water skiing. They look at their lives as an adventure & they are ready to take life by the horns! They are fun, fabulous & I am so excited to photograph their backyard wedding in October!
Kim & Joe…thanks for the fun engagement session! I love clients like you who totally trust me & my sometimes crazy ideas! Thanks for being so easy & fun to work with! I can’t wait for your wedding because I know it will be fun & fabulous, just like the two of you! xoxo, marielle.
Dear Kim: If you ever, ever get sick of your boots, puh-leeze let me have them. Seriously.
Believe it or not, I didn’t bump the saturation in this photo…the hill was literally that color! Yet another reason why I love living in California…especially in December!

What an awesome location on the first few photos! My favorite is the ring shot. So simple, clean, artistic. Great shoot, Marielle! and this looks like the one where it was kinda rainy in SF – looks perfect, though!
If you have dibs on the boots then I want the skirt when she is done with it. So Cute!
Love the photos! Love the couple and their adventeruous spirit! Can’t wait to see the wedding photos.
