Fall City, WA // Engagement Session // Matthew + Kelsey
It took three weekends to find the sun on a Friday afternoon but it was worth it. Matthew & Kelsey made their way down to the rocky beaches that line the Snoqualmie River, less than a mile from the majestic Snoqualmie Falls. But tripping and traipsing over small river rocks is child's play for these two.
Matthew and Kelsey met while working at a rock climbing gym and immediately hit it off. They are so in sync with each other that when Kelsey met Matthew's parents, his mom told him that no matter what happened with he and Kelsey, they were going to keep Kelsey. But forever was an easy decision for Matthew and you can tell by the way he looks at her.
There, as the light went down on a simple Friday, each glance from him was like watching someone looking ahead into brilliant truth and love and grace and hope. Yes, they laughed and joked and giggled and were totally themselves and yet it was a little bit like I was watching the metamorphosis of two people into their truest selves. Matthew looked into the eyes of his future wife with awe and anticipation that was matched by Kelsey's steady looks of both love and patience that allowed them to be both radically present in the moment and someplace else entirely all at the same time.
It sounds a little heavy handed but their love isn't a feather-weight kind of affection, it is deep and wide and weighty in the best way. I could think of no better way to spend an evening but in the weight of forever love.
