Had a wonderful time getting to know Cat and Andrew at their engagement session. It was our first time meeting in person, but we clicked right away and they were game for anything!
We had a perfect warm summer day at the beach in JANUARY! What more could you ask for?
Laguna Beach was perfect and I am so excited about how this set came out. I cannot wait for their big day!
Claremont Village is a vibe for photos! Had a blast walking around Downtown Claremont CA with Alex + Lauren for their engagement session. I love that we can just hang with our couples, go to downtown, walk around get some coffee and ice cream together and let them enjoy their shoot like its another date night. Loved every spot we hit in this session and their wedding is going to be such an amazing time!
I cannot express my excitement for this couple enough. The first time I officially met Cory + Sahar was at this engagement session and we really hit it off! We had the best time exploring the San Gorgonio Wilderness up near Angelus Oaks Ca. It felt like we had the mountain to ourselves, we played in the street, found some cabins in the forest and shot way past sunset. Had the best time and seriously cannot wait for their wedding which I don’t want to spoil now, but I will hint, it may or may not take place at the top of a mountain somewhere….
This is one engagement session I will certainly never forget.
I feel so fortunate to have been chosen to photograph these two. I have known Nicole for many years now. A long time ago, Maria and I hiked into the mountains to a place called Bridge to Nowhere to Bungee Jump off of it. Nicole was our instructor that day. We bonded with all of those instructors that day over a large mount of breakfast burritos our crew brought in with them that day.
Since then we have been friends on instagram. When these two started dating, it was no surprise to see what an adventurous life they lived together. From bungee jumping, sky diving, traveling, camping, hiking, these two never had a boring weekend. When they got engaged and reached out to us, we were just so happy for them and excited we would get the chance to be a part of their day.
The part I will never forget about this engagement session was going from one moment where we were completely enjoying the session, laughing and telling stories, to the next moment where we were running for our lives being chased out of the forest by a swarm of yellow jacket wasps!
We ran and ran, only to stop and swat the wasps off each other for a moment and keep running. It was really scary for a while there, but it all turned into laughter and disbelief. That is one of the craziest things I have experienced during a session, but in the end we were all ok, had a big laugh about it and were able to finish their photos and enjoyed a beautiful sunset.
We are so excited about their wedding and cannot wait for the day to come.
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!
David and Jasmine are such incredible couple. From the minute we met, I knew their wedding was going to be amazing. We met at the J Riley Distillery for their engagement session. It was a special place they loved to go on dates together, we decided to make a date of their entire session.
After having a few drinks, we went to downtown Redlands to explore some of the towns beautiful art installations and get to know each other some more. Their passion and love for each other was clear, and it made for some really beautiful photographs.
We ended our session with some Augie’s Coffee, a Redlands staple and must try when in town. We had so much fun getting to know each other, and this was only the begining!
You know it’s going to be an awesome shoot when you pull up to your session, and everything is covered in snow! This was also the first time we met Luis and Sierra in person, and I’m pretty sure we hit it off because we spent the rest of the day laughing and having exploring the Angelus Oaks forest together!
Their pup Waffles also came with them, he loved running around the snow and playing with his humans! This was such a fun shoot from beginning to end. Their engagement session was a blast and we cannot wait for their big day!
We spent the evening with Sheen and Dao in Murrieta at the Forever and Always Farm. And you know it was a great session cause we got to hang with our Alpaca friend Ted! It really was awesome just to walk around, get some laughs, feed some alpacas and enjoy the sunset getting to know these two.
