Debating an engagement session but don't want something too formal? Our suggestion is to ditch the traditional formalwear, toss your shoes, and head to the gusty beach with your love (and film photographer Cassidy Carson in tow!). We're all for these relaxed, more authentic moments for couples who don't find formalwear as comfortable! Of course bride to be Laurie found this stunning white gown from Gossamer ... look how that thing moves in the wind!

From Cassidy Carson Photography: "When Laurie and Brian chose me to shoot their wedding they initially didn't want to do an engagement session. They live in Southern California, so when I informed them I would be in LA visiting family, an engagement session just came together! Laurie searched for a long, flowy, white dress and after searching online and in several stores found the perfect one through Gossamer. It fit her beautifully!
