Whittier College Engagement Photography | Connie and Nick

We were so excited when we found out that Connie and Nick were making a trip to Los Angeles to finalize their wedding plans for June, which also meant a little time together to catch up and see one another.  You see, although both Nick & Connie are from LA, they currently reside in Texas as Nick is currently on active duty for the United States Army.  It was only a few months ago that Nick had returned from his tour in Afganistan, needless to say we are thankful for Nick as well as the many other men and women who have served our country.  It was only coincidence that our time together fell on Memorial Day weekend, although such a perfect fit.  

We had such an amazing and fun time with these two on the beautiful campus of Whittier College.  More than just a great location, this was actually where these two lovebirds met.  If you have had the opportunity to meet Connie or Nick, you will vouch for us as we say they are absolutely perfect for one another.  Without either of them knowing, watching Connie melt in Nick's arms as he tenderly holds her close, and the smile on Nicks face as he takes a moment to glance in Connie's direction when they are apart was so beautiful to be a part of.

Connie & Nick, we are so grateful to not only call you friends but to be part of such amazing times in your lives, and are so excited to be celebrating your wedding day with you and your amazing family.  Thanks for making us feel like part of your family and we'll see you in a few weeks!



Pasadena City Hall Engagement Photography | Araceli and Jose

Araceli and Jose made this engagement session so easy and flawless. They wanted a bit of architecture with some greenery and as we discussed a few options they agreed that Pasadena City Hall would be the ideal spot. They were so excited as they never took pictures together before this and what better place to share some time alone and begin their married life together! 

They were a little nervous to begin the session (although we don't think so), so be sure to give them some encouraging comments below!

Have an awesome week!

Orange County Engagement Photography | Rochelle and Kyle

First of all, we want to say Happy 2014! As for us, we had a restful, yet productive holiday season. Filled with family, Disneyland, food, and preparing for the year ahead. 

So to launch the new year, we spent some time with Rochelle and Kyle this past Saturday in the beautiful, serene and intimate botanical gardens for their engagement session. We couldn't have asked for a better place to hang out. Rochelle and Kyle are engaged to be married at Faulkner Winery in Temecula this March and we couldn't be happier to be a part of it. 

Kyle is a super cool dude as he loves to scuba dive and the like, but we learned that he is also a plant connoisseur in disguise. We learned so much about so many plants, we can teach Jade and Jarron about the different tree variations and plants as if we knew all along! Haha!

As always, you can click on the images below to see the full size. However, we have to apologize to our East Coast friends that these were actually taken last Saturday in the "dead of winter" (hang in there if you're snowed out!). 

Also, if you are recently engaged, or if you know someone who is, and you like what you see, send us a quick note on our contact page to get the ball rolling. We'd love to talk with you about the details and discuss your wedding plans!

Have an awesome week!

Jessica and Joe have known each other forever and they just tied the knot 2 months ago in Northern California. They planned on making the trip to sunny Southern Cali to hang out at Disneyland and enjoy their time together as a married couple. Although the sun was replaced with a heavy dose of rain for the majority of the morning, they were troopers and we actually had a blast! You can definitely see and feel the love between these two. 

Congrats guys and many blessings to you!

Malibu, CA Engagement Photography | Christina and Jeff

Since Christina and Jeff's wedding will be in the beautiful state of Hawaii next year, for this engagement session we got as close as we could to Paradise and had a relaxed time in Malibu. They wanted to incorporate as many details as possible that represented what they like to do together as well as including their beautiful boxer, Mia. She was such a good sport and definitely not shy in front of the camera! 

We've known Christina since high school and it's so awesome to see her and Jeff happy and in love with each other. Cheers to you guys and Aloha until we see you guys again!!

Here are a few of our favorites from their session, and feel free to click on any image to view the full size!

Aloha!!
