This sweet couple met randomly in 2014 when Candace threw an apartment-warming party. Johnny’s best friend lived in the same building, so when they heard the music they decided to check it out. The two immediately connected and soon realized they had found “the one”!
They love traveling, football, and walking along the beach with coffee and good conversation. Keep scrolling to see their stunning engagement photos!
Malibu is a beautiful location for engagement sessions with crashing waves, rocks, and a beautiful sunset view. It tends to be crowded during the day, so sunrise is an ideal time for a photoshoot, although sunset is just as gorgeous and we can always work around other people that may be there.
