Wild Beach Shoot By Lauren Albanese

By Magnolia Rouge

It's always a delight to feature the lovely Lauren Albanese on the blog, and especially when it's with beautiful shoots like this. Wanting to celebrate their relationship, Natalie and Matt spent a day on the beach embracing their new Southern California location. Lauren tells the story�

�When Natalie first met Matt, she was 15 and scoping the mall for �cute guys'. Having never had a boyfriend before, she certainly didn't expect to be meeting her husband that night! After meeting, they talked and laughed for hours, they couldn't believe how much they had in common; most importantly, their relationship with God and how it impacted their lives. At the end of the night, Matt asked for her home phone number and it was the beginning of their love story. They were married in 2006 when Natalie was 18 and Matt was 21. �People were worried because we were so young, but we never had any doubts. God brought us together at a young age, and being in the center of our marriage, he has kept us together.� said Natalie.

�The first years were tough since we were both full time students, but what mattered the most is that we were doing it together and having fun along the way� said Matt. Matt finally graduated from Pharmacy school in 2012, and they decided to follow their dreams and move to sunny Southern California, where they currently reside. This year they will be celebrating 8 years of marriage and a love that continues to grow stronger as time passes.�
