It is true…we both are going to be married to Andrews! Crazy. Crystal will always be my little sister…even when we both have grand-babies. She is ten years younger than me. Growing up…she truly was my little sister. Today, she still is my little sister but now a best friends too. She is getting married in one month! The countdown is on. Last week I sat down with her and we mapped map out a master To-Do list. So fun to see it coming together!

When Crystal and Andrew do something…they do it well. Thoroughly and completely. They are not afraid of a little hard work and always say…it is worth it! They have been rock climbing, cliff jumping, kayaking, cave exploring, sailing (that is where he asked her to marry him!), surfing, motorcycling cruising, campfires, and road tripping across the country. Together…they are drawn to adventure, want to explore the unknown, taste and see the world. They dream and have big dreams and have no room for playing it safe and living in boredom.;)

They planned their entire engagement. I seriously, had nothing to do with it. Crystal and Andrew decided they wanted their photos to capture fun and adventure. From there, they scouted locations and pulled together props. The bike they found randomly online on a used bike website, called the owner and asked if they could rent instead of buy. The owner was happy to drive the bike two hours to us, waited while we photographed the bike, and then took it home with him again. Lesson I learned? A little politeness, admiration of the other person’s goods:), and willingness to ask…you never know what somebody will do for you! The jeep was borrowed from a friend. The quilt is our mother’s quilt. And the other fun props were found as freebies, borrowed, or their very own. The shoot came together and I love the results!

Just for the fun of it!

Aaaah, pretty light and this setup made me so happy.

Love it.

One of my faves…

Another favorite!

Crystal and Andrew! Here is to many more adventures!!! :)
