Irvine Regional Park Engagement Session

august 27, 2012

Ashley and Ryan were teenage sweethearts. Eight years later, Ryan says, “I love Ashley because I know she would do anything for me. I love the way she smiles. She always smells good. I love her because she loves me for who I am, inside and out, no matter what.” In return, Ashley loves Ryan’s  fun-loving spirit and how kind he is, not just to her, but to all people. I admire you both for your commitment to each other and the journey that has brought you to this point. I look forward to photographing your wedding in January! Congratulations!

Sunken City Engagement Session

march 31, 2012

Sunken City is most likely one of the most epic backdrops in Southern California! Nick and Angela are certifiably two of my favorite people in the world. I am ecstatic they hired me to create their engagement photos and photograph their forthcoming wedding in July! Angela recently told me, when planning for this shoot, that she searched a long time for Nick. I am so happy they found each other. I feel these images capture a sense of their adventurous creative spirits. They, (Nick), wanted something different than the average run of the mill engagement photos. He wanted something with an edge!  Lets just say there was a big edge involved, that at times I felt I would fall off of!!! I’m SO thankful my assistant Dawnae was able to maintain her ground on that blustery evening! 🙂 The finished product is soooo worth the death defying bounds we crossed. Enjoy!

It was an absolute blast meeting and working with Sarah and Nick! We carpooled to the Korean Bell of Friendship at Angels Gate Park in San Pedro. What a gorgeous day it was! Sarah and Nick’s quick wit and sarcastic humor were well received and we laughed the entire session. Congrats on your upcoming wedding and a BIG THANK YOU to Nick for serving our country. Thank you for helping to protect our freedoms and liberty!
