Joshua + Felicia - Engagement - Dancing Through Downtown Pasadena /
Joshua + Felicia have to be one of the funnest couples we have met! We met them for the first time to photograph their engagement session, and right from the start they were so much fun. They had us meet at the Historic Rialto Theatre in South Pasadena. They really loved the look of the theatre and just liked the fact that it had been in a couple movies they liked, and we thought that was pretty cool.
They did not have anything specific in mind for their engagement photos, they just wanted to come out and have some fun. It’s always exciting when we have a couple who is up for adventuring around and exploring our surroundings to make some really awesome photos. We walked around Pasadena and found some pretty cool places to shoot.
We found a cool stairway behind the theatre to get creative. We caught the sunset in a little residential area. We visited the Colorado Street Bridge and found some beautiful areas to run around and get them dancing. It was really great just hanging out with them, and we know their wedding is going to be such a blast!
Elysia + Lauren - Engagement - San Gorgonio Wilderness /
There is never a bad time to head up to the mountains for photos, and both Elysia and Lauren were up for an adventure. We drove up to the San Gorgonio Wilderness and found some beautiful forests for us to play in, but it was even more amazing than we expected. All of the fall colors were in full bloom. We went for a walk through the forest and right away Elysia and Lauren were so comfortable, they had already been excited for this day, and you could tell! On our way out we noticed the clouds rolling over the mountains and all agreed we had to stop and find a place to take some more photos. The weather was perfect this day, and it felt like we could keep taking photos for hours. These two were so fun to be with, they have adventurous hearts and are incredibly in love. Their wedding day cannot come soon enough.
Jonathon + Lane - Engagement - Beaumont, Ca /
When Jon told me that him and Lane wanted to do something a little different for their engagement session, it came with no surprise. I have known Jon for some time now, he himself is a creative, and I knew when they had chosen us to be their photographers that our time with them would be anything but conventional.
Jon asked me if i knew of any abandoned buildings or areas covered in graffiti. Luckily for them, I had been eyeing this abandoned house, sitting on top of a hill over looking a valley of fields near Beaumont Ca. How convenient. We took our chances by driving out there and checking it out. Lo and behold, our trip was a success. Not only did we find our way to the house on the hill, but we discovered many more abandoned houses and beautiful fields to fix as our setting. We are beyond excited to photograph these two at their upcoming wedding, it really cannot come quick enough!
Tyler + Courtney - Engagement - Forest Falls, Ca /
Tyler + Courtney met at a halloween party, and at that time they had no idea what their first interactions would lead to. Now they are getting ready to start a whole new chapter in their lives, and we couldn’t be more honored to be able to follow them on their new journey. We met up in Forest Falls for their engagement session, it was a perfect quiet day and it felt as though we had the entire mountain to ourselves. We ran around, laughed, and we captured these two falling in love all over again.
Felipe + Iris - Engagement - Twin Peaks Ca. /
When I first sat down to get to know Felipe and Iris, it was clear to me that these two are a perfect pair, and their enthusiasm for their big day got me just as excited even though they had just started planning everything out. We decided to head up to Twin Peaks for their engagement session, and things could not have gone any better!
Felipe is a huge Green Bay Packers fan, and we joked about having a Green Bay wedding! Rightfully so we had to do a few photos sporting some of his gear, and I am almost certain he will be sporting some green and yellow at his wedding. We strolled around the woods, found some epic spots for photos and had an amazing time watching these two fall in love all over again.
When we reached the peak of the mountain, the fog rolled in. It got a little windy, and a little cold, but it did not phase either Felipe or Iris and it made for some pretty magical photos.
Gus + Teresa - Engagement - Downtown Los Angeles, Ca /
We had such an awesome time following Gus and Teresa around Downtown Los Angeles. They were very specific about the locations they had chosen, from the two buildings across each other they had worked at when they met, to the walks they would take together. The city looks good on them, and we cannot wait to photograph their wedding and spend some more time with these two amazing people!
Sam + Greg - Engagement - Lake Elsinore, Ca /
With their wedding right around the corner, I wanted to share Sam and Greg's awesome engagement session! These two were so great to hangout with! I won't mention how much offroading or hiking we did to get to this spot, but they really are amazing for letting me bring them here! Because of our little adventure, it made this session that much greater, and I cannot wait for their wedding this month!!!
