There are moments when two people love each other so much that it's inexplicable. They tend to describe each other by looking at each other and smiling, giggling, then giving each other a peck on the lips (yes, in that exact order). And you can just see it between them. The love for each other is known to them, and only them and the duplicate smiles tell the whole story...

A few weeks ago, we met up with Chad and Mishanna at their private ranch in Malibu as they wanted to incorporate their horse, Heidi, in their engagement session. We had no idea how we were going to incorporate a horse in the shots, so I brought my big belt buckle and cowboy hat just in case we needed to giddy up at some point in the day. I guess it was a good thing I didn't need them because this city slicker would have made a complete fool of himself.

Chad and Mishanna are such a beautiful couple and the love between them was so evident throughout the day. We galloped around the ranch with Heidi and their two dogs, Chef and Cosmo. Then we headed towards the beach and had some intimate time with the ocean breeze and the beautiful sunset. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and it was so fun to get to know them better.

At one point I asked Chad what made him decide to ask for Mishanna's hand in marriage and his exact words were "It was time". For some reason, I was speechless for a few seconds. What better way to love someone so much than to know that it's time to take that next step with the love of your life.

We're so excited to see you guys up in Carpinteria!!

Congratulations Chad & Mishanna! The day is almost here!!
