Karina + Kevin: Malibu Engagement Photography

I met Kevin and Karina a couple of months ago as they started planning a beautiful May 2011 wedding.  Kevin has a passion for football, coaching at a local high school, and Karina works with children, currently drives a truck, and her family owns some horses in the valley.  (I’m already dreaming about the chance to photograph her on one!)   They chose to capture their engagement Sunday afternoon in the beautiful hills of Malibu, near the Malibu Lake Mountain Club (venue).

During our first meeting, Karina shared with me her love of Oak Trees.  Luckily, there were lots of beautiful trees at our photo spot for some great pictures including this awesome ring shot below.

Someone asked me the other day if I had a “signature shot” that I always do.  I wasn’t really sure how to respond since I feel everyone is different, and I really hate being predictable… but on the other hand I do realize I have an arsenal of classic shots.   Even if I’ve done the shot before, it might be something new to a couple.  So, why not ?  Below, you’ve might of seen this a few times on the blog here… but I still love it and I’ll do it many times again…. if my couples are willing to get a little dirty!  😉

Tina + Armando: Griffith Observatory Engagement Photography

Yesterday, I got to spend some quality time with my beautiful May 2011 couple, Tina and Armando.  I met them back in September as they started planning their relaxed and fun wedding at the Sportsman’s Lodge in Studio City.  They chose to have their engagement pictures at the Griffith Observatory, and it turned out to be the perfect spot!  The light was amazing, and they looked fabulous!

Brandon + Shana: Malibu Engagement Photography

Brandon and Shana are a gorgeous couple with great smiles and big hearts.  They met in college and soon fell in love.  They’re planning a beautiful September 2011 wedding at a Gainey Vineyard in Santa Barbara.  Tonight, we spend the evening in beautiful Malibu getting these amazing pictures!

We switched out a Decemberist poster (a band they saw together in 2007) from the frame for the following shots… I must credit the picture frame idea to Brandon!  I love it!

Chris and Leah +1: Texas Portrait Photography

It was about a year ago, my family celebrated my brother’s Chris’ and Leah’s wedding.  Since then they have welcomed their first child, Libby into the world! She was born in September, so she is still just a little peanut! They also recently purchased their first home together in Humble, TX where this past weekend, they hosted an early Thanksgiving celebration.  I get to see my brother about 1-2 times a year, and it was interesting to see him in a new light as husband and father.
