Ready to hear the sweetest story?

A few months ago John and I talked about reaching out to this couple, Lukas & Grace, to hang out. We knew that they loved Jesus and that it’d just be a joy to get to know them more. Around the same time that we talked about reaching out to them, Lukas mentioned us to Grace too. Neither of us realizes we mutually had mentioned each other. We never ended up reaching out. Fast forward to September, we went out the Oregon Coast and were exploring for session I had that evening.

While we were scouting, we pulled up to a spot and looked out our window to this little hill and saw this sweet couple. John pointed them out and said, “Ah look at that cute couple!” Then we realized...it was Lukas & Grace! We ran over and were so giddy to meet them after having talked about reaching out to them.

They invited us to sit with them on a picnic blanket and drink tea on the coast (a coastal picnic was my dream coming true). We then ran around the beautiful coast a little and snapped photos of each other. Lukas is an incredibly gifted photographer himself and so he also kindly snapped some photos of John and I.. It was so special and was totally the hand of God to bring our worlds together on that cloudy afternoon by the coast.

Here is the story of the afternoon through images —
