A Surprise Message…{Brittney + Rhett, Laguna Beach Nautical Inspired Styled Engagement Session}

Brittney and Rhett have been together for a little over 7 years.  On their six year anniversary they decided to take a little mini-staycation up to Laguna Beach for three days. On the evening of their actual anniversary, while watching the sunset Rhett secretly buried a small glass bottle behind the rock they were sitting on. He pulled it out and told Brittney to look at what he found. Unknowingly she thought it was perhaps someone else’s message in a bottle and suggested that they open it and find out what the message said {which- for the record- is EXACTLY what we would have done, lol}!  When she finally managed to get the message out of the bottle when she unrolled it, it read, “Will you marry me?” She turned her head and saw Rhett down on one knee with an open black box and an engagement ring inside… 

After we heard their love story it made perfect sense to have a nautical message in a bottle inspired styled engagement shoot out in Laguna!!!  It was so much fun working with Madam Palooza on this one.  They really brought their A-game to this shoot with vintage windows, a row boat and tons of beach inspired details.
