I couldn’t think of a better shoot to end what I have considered one of the greatest years as a wedding photographer. Malia and Brandon, amazing couple in so many ways. They are getting married next year at Rancho las Lomas. I CAN NOT WAIT for this day! I met Malia for the first time a few months ago with her soon to be mother in law in my Irvine Studio….it’s one of those times when a client walks in your door and you immediately know any photographer would be honored to shoot this wedding. Nothing better than photographing beautiful people….nothing, especially when they are also incredible people! So I was lucky enough to be selected to take on their day. LUCKY me! Their engagement session was the first time I met Brandon…..how does this happen? How do I get beautiful people and the sweetest couples to photograph? I am super blessed because it truly is an opportunity and not a job. It’s what makes me want to give everything I have to make sure they get the most incredible photos for them. I love that Malia, is so shy….wow, the girl is so stunning it’s crazy how humble and shy she is…not to mention Brandon, I mean amazing as well….handsome, humble and crazy in love with his girl…can’t get better! Oh wait it does! The DOGGY! CYLDE! Engagement sessions, no matter what location, MUST be owned by the couple I’m photographing….the sessions never look the same cause everyone has a twist to make it more personal…and the twist that Malia and Brandon brought was Clyde. Just adorable….just perfect! I loved so many photos, it was hard to choose for blogging without posting over 100 images…..Cheers! Thank You Brandon and Malia for choosing me to be the one to tell your love story…..honored and blessed! Happy New Year! XXOO

Tara and Kevin….Just can’t get any more beautiful can they? I have to say this is the first couple that I have had to reschedule an engagement session in Orange County twice because of weather. So today, third time, was in fact a charm. For Decemeber, it was amazingly warm in the OC, 75 degrees! And the beach was FULL, all of Laguna Beach was popping, traffic on PCH and an amazing night to take photos of this perfect couple! I met Tara this past June, at her friend’s wedding, yet another couple I was lucky to photograph….and soon after, Tara herself was saying “YES”…..I am thrilled to have taken her engagement photos! Such a beautiful couple! We had a great time tonight…got wet, my shoes are soaked….but their images are for sure to die for!!! XXOO…..congrats Tara and Kevin!!

I am just over the top Thrilled to have been able to be part of Anhelo Magazine’s newest publication. What thrills me most is this magazine is full of some of the most amazing photographers around the world and I am please to have been placed amongst them. I truly wish that I spoke Japanese or even understood how to read this wonderful language as this publication is just amazing! I love it! XXOO

There is a few things I know for sure…Lesley and Tyler know how to kiss and when in doubt, they were kissing during this engagement session! I also know for sure, the wind blows very well in Santa Monica…I also know that crowded is an understatement on the promenade! We had a blast tonight. Pretty much freezing! but what’s a little sacrifice when you’re having engagement photos taken? Nothing really! As hard as it was to get a shot without 8 million strangers….it was amazing some of the photos and moments that we got. I mean who can’t laugh when you see how much fun they were having with cotton candy! AND not only is the skating rink normally a parking lot on Arizona Street, but also this very location, as a parking lot is where Tyler proposed….to you see people, we can make it work, your love story, your engagement photos need to have meaning and I love that these photos do just that! XXOO Can’t wait for your wedding next year at Strawberry Farms!!!! XXOO
