marc grew up in denmark and jenelle in cali. they both have a passion for travel and missions. it eventually brought them together. yup. she was on a mission trip and he just so happened to one of the interpreters at the camp. they meet and well, the rest is history. they started dating long distance, and soon thereafter marc moved to the US to be with jenelle. now, they are getting hitched. how cool is that?

we did their engagement shoot here in santa barbara, and we decided it would be fun to play up their love for travel and adventure. i thought it would be awesome if we took a retro approach to it and brought along a polaroid camera and a map of sb. marc brought a legit yellow suitcase with various stickers marking the places to which he has travelled. this series of photos is one of my favorites. well that and the shots “under the boardwalk”…ah that was a precious moment. i nearly cried as i was taking (and editing) their photos. it is so evident that they are deeply in love and are excited to share the rest of their lives together. so, so cool. i can’t wait till their wedding in august. ahhh, they are the best. i adore them. already :). here is their story…
