Mandy + Chad. kindergarden, crushes, and craft beer. Orange County Engagement Photographers

I was lucky enough to grow up with a best friend who lived six houses down. We had play-dates, swim dates, shared birthday parties, and of course had our own secret club. We had the same bus-stop, the same teachers, and occasionally the same crushes. I seriously could not have asked for anything better.

Now that we’re older, it’s so fun to look back and think about a life so very shared. Now we get to talk about awesome wedding details, and our mutual love of craft beer.  Some things have changed, some things have not, but I cannot wait to see her walk down the aisle. We were never the overly “girly” girls who daydreamed about our weddings as kids, but I know it’s going to be one of those moments that hit me like a ton of bricks. The music, the dress, the memories, the magic – I’m 100% going to cry. And I’m so excited.
