Adrian and Michael met during college and have been together for the past 9 years. Tonight, we met up at the Griffith Observatory to capture their love during a fun engagement session with a beautiful sunset. And of course we did just that…. definitely in style!
Every once in a while, I get a couple who decide to book me as their wedding photographer, without ever meeting in person. They’re usually referrals from a friend’s wedding I’ve photographed. I’m actually super flattered in these cases, but also a really nervous! Last night, I met one of my 2012 clients in person for the first time, Melissa and Jeff. They were giggly and loving right from the start, which always makes my job super easy. They chose to have their engagement session during sunset at one of their favorite spots in Malibu, Paradise Cove!
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!
I met Kristin and Jordan last month as they started planning their February wedding at The Victorian in Santa Monica. One interesting fact about their celebration, it will take place at the end of football season after the Superbowl (important factor for the men in attendance!) The winter sun will set early, and they are planning a romantic nigh setting. For their engagement shoot, they wanted somewhere fun and meaningful, so they chose a location about 5 minutes away from their place in Manhattan Beach. It was my first time shooting there and I loved exploring with them!
Last night, I had a great time hanging with Monina and Matt, my awesome August couple. They both met 6+ years ago during guitar classes and have been inseparable ever since. They’re getting married at Calamigos Equestrian in Burbank, and plan on including many personal touches to their wedding!
