Bianca + Eric’s Engagement at The Happiest Place on Earth

I am so lucky to have the coolest clients!  Today, I want to share a little love for Bianca and Eric.  I met them both a few months ago back in July, as they started planning their intimate beach wedding at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach.  During our initial consultation they shared details about their lives, some plans about their wedding, and desires to have an engagement session at Disneyland!  Deep in my heart I knew we were a perfect match, and I just hoped that they felt the same way.  I was beyond thrilled with the news when they chose me!  This past weekend, as the kids were back in school and the weather was cool, we found the perfect chance to explore the happiest place on Earth!

We first started in California Adventure, where we found a sea themed carousel with dolphins and a vineyard.

The sun started setting fast, so we hopped over to Disneyland for the rest of the session.  First on our list was a place Bianca scouted online… the “Snow White Bridge.”  It was right next to the castle and has cute pink hearts along the sides.  Behind the bridge was a wishing well where you can hear Snow White echoing, “I’m wishing, for the one I love, to find me.”  So romantic!

Behind the scenes: making of the video.  After we spent most of the morning getting video shots in the studio, daylight was fading fast.  We had just enough time to make it to Vasquez Rock for a couple of finale shots at “the fork in the road.”

Last but not least, one of my fave pics of Mat in action filming “Car Broke Down on the Side of the Road.”
