That beautiful time between “Yes” and “I do. ” Our favorite engagement sessions.
The cuteness just doesn't stop when it comes to Craig and Melissa, and I'm so giddy to share the second half of their travel themed engagement session at the Santa Fe train depot in downtown San Diego. We were lucky enough to have the lovely B&M Salisbury...
He missed her like crazy - and everybody could tell. Those who knew Craig well felt the difference in his manner. He was the same Craig as usual - upbeat, easygoing, lovable, and fun - but something just wasn't right. A piece of him had gone missing. And they all...
It's a beautiful Tuesday here in San Diego and we had such a fantastic Valentine's weekend with the spunky and adorable Craig and Melissa. These two travel-lovers live in Chicago and decided to come out for the weekend to shoot their engagement session in the...
We really didn't think that Jared and Kathryn's cowboys-on-the-beach themed engagement session at Little Corona Del Mar could get any better - but then again, we've been wrong many times before. Things became EVEN MORE stinkin' amazing once the sun started sinking...
It was the best and worst first date they could have ever imagined. Instead of sending flirtatious glances over a romantic dinner at a swanky restaurant, Jared and Kathryn ended up spending their first date at the local dumpy pizzeria. So it was over a plate of...
This is the time of year when weddings slow down, and we get to hang out with a lot of really cool couples and get to know them during their engagement sessions. The stories of how these couples first meet are HILARIOUS. But also make-me-all-misty sweet. And also...
I am SO EXCITED to share Part Two of Lizzy and Ipp's engagement session at Corona Lake. These two win the award for Most Genius Engagement Session Idea for coming up with the idea of shooting their session on metal rowboats out in the middle of a gorgeous, secluded...
Everybody knew why he was coming to the party. He had just put in a long day at work and Jason was tired, dirty, and definitely smelly. Under normal circumstances, he would have skipped his friend's engagement party, gone home, showered, and hit the sack. But this...
Welcome back to the second half of Greg and Rachel's engagement session at Temescal Canyon in Los Angeles. These two got engaged at the top of one of the mountains here while on their favorite hike, so we decided to go back to the base of that hike and play around...
In the end, he lead with, "Do you like to eat food?" They had first 'met' on eHarmony - their profiles had been matched as the perfect pair for each other, but unknowingly, Rachel had closed Greg out and rejected his profile. There is debate to this day on how this...
She couldn't believe that her friends did it. They had just shoved her, literally, towards the cute guy as he made his third pass by their little group. She was the coodinator of the event - he was the chef of the restaurant that just so happened to be sweet and...
The second half of Kent and Jacqueline's Newport Beach engagement session was all about telling the story of their favorite weekend activity - grabbing some champagne and hanging out with friends on the Newport harbor. So we did exactly that - Kent went out and...
