This portrait sesh is so intimate, and warms our heart so much that we’re going to let photographers, The Why We Love, tell their side of the story since they got to know Mike + Silvia + daughter, Mia first hand.

From The Why We Love:
Silvia and Mike have a passion for one another that is infectious!  They have that perfectly serendipitous, and an oh-so-dreamy California love story that makes any romantic smile. While both living in Huntington beach these two were first introduced by a mutual friend and later found love while paddling out for the perfect wave.  Years of friendship turned into a deeply rooted love for one another which has since poured over into an unyielding love for their beautiful daughter Mia.  When Kevin and I were asked to be a part of capturing this family’s story we couldn’t think of a better backdrop than where it all began… the sun and sand of old Surf City.

We love the colors that came about as the haze rolled in and out, and the sun flooded the area. Stay tuned for Mike and Silvia’s AMAZING, intimate wedding that was held this past September at Leo Carrillo Ranch in Carlsbad, CA.
