Dixon Lake Engagement, Part Two
Ned and Kim

I have a feeling that this lovely engagement session at Dixon Lake is going to become a favorite simply because it makes my heart so happy! There’s nobody sweeter than Ned and Kim and hanging out with them was simply a treat. After we hopped off the rowboat, these two got dolled up in a dress and a suit, and we strolled along the flowering lakeshore in the waning afternoon. Check out Kim’s innocent-yet-sexy backless dress in pink lace – the only thing that made this outfit more fabulous was the sparkly gold heels she paired with it! 5 people…

Dixon Lake Engagement, Part One
Ned and Kim

Ned and Kim have a street corner that they call their own. It’s near their house and it’s on the way to their favorite bar. Whenever they stop and wait at the corner, they hold hands, smile, and say, “Look! We’re being cute on the corner together!” It’s kind of ridiculously adorable. So one night Ned asked Kim to walk with him and meet one of their friends at the bar. When they paused at the corner, Ned got down on one knee and asked if they could be cute together on their corner for the rest of their lives….

UCLA Engagement, Part Two
Stefan and Ivette

Welcome back to Part Two of Stefan and Ivette’s classic engagement session at UCLA where Jeff and I felt like two-year-olds in a giant bounce house – too excited to be considered healthy. As you already know from Part One, Stefan and Ivette define gorgeous. In fact, I’m pretty sure their pictures are listed in the dictionary next to “too hot for one’s own good.” Ruby reds lips, a puffy little black dress, and a tailored suit – that’s what I like to call, HAWT. 13 people love this   9 people love this   7 people love this     1…

UCLA Engagement, Part One
Stefan and Ivette

They were accepted to the same school, studied in the same program, and attended the same classes. They strolled along the same sidewalks and walked past the same buildings on their way to the same library. But Stefan never met the gorgeous Ivette because they were a few years apart. It was as if their stories were happening the same way, just at frustratingly different times. It finally took a Cinco de Mayo party and a best friend’s quick thinking to intersect their stubbornly parallel lives and for Stefan to fall madly in love with Ivette’s big brown eyes, and for…

Mornings like this make me pretty stinkin’ happy. Why? Because I get to keep the blog love going with another seriously sweet couple.

Del Dios Engagement, Part One
Christian and April

She was the girl that made him get water. As the new young guy at work, Christian had to prove himself in his new job, and he definitely had to prove himself to this ambitious manager, April. She would tell the story differently, but Christian remembers walking to get her water and wondering if the two of them would ever get along… But then they had to work on a project together… the long hours turned into hang outs after work. The late nights turned into friendly conversations. Their guards came down and they began to see the softer, humble,…

Track and Field Engagement, Part One
Kevin and Lara

She pushes him forward and makes him a better man. He calms her heart and fills her soul. And yet you would never guess that they’re opposites because they seem so in sync, so in step with each other. They’ve found their own rhythm to walk through life to and when it comes to love, that mutual beat can be difficult to find. But Kevin and Lara have found the day to day heartbeat of their relationship and I get the sense that they casually live by that rhythm, letting it lead them as they wander through afternoons or power…

Springtime is officially in the air everybody – at least for those of us in Southern California! The birds are out, the skies are blue, and the grass is green, which means that Jeff and I are in photo heaven. Plus, our incredible couples never disappoint with their fabulous style and adorable love. Jeff and Jenny are two down to earth Newport folks with a love story that makes me go ‘awww.’ And when these two already gorgeous folks snuggle in front of our cameras, they both light up like stars as even more of their inner beauty shines through!…
