Lauren & Anthony. Engaged. Orange County Wedding Photographer.

Lauren and Anthony are national travelers. The moved from Delaware to California recently and will soon set their feet in New Jersey by next Spring. Hmm what are Bonnie and Clyde up to, nothing but love! They are just two youngins in love. Anthony is actually in the army, which allows him to travel so often and this also means that his adorable fiancé will soon be an army wife. They wanted to have their engagement session right here in Laguna Beach where Anthony proposed to Lauren one romantic afternoon. She said yes and probably gave him a million and one kisses as they decided to spend the rest of their lives in love with one another. She’s a homebody that loves teaching children. She won my heart, like I’m sure she did his, when I discovered she’s a one-on-one teacher for children with Autism. He’s an adventurer and together they are like peanut butter and jelly. No, better like nutella and apple butter on a warm English muffin…so good together! The best thing about this session is how their true love just spewed out in front of my lens because when I asked them to snuggle, they joked how that was their favorite thing to do. Seriously, you guys are killing me that you are so darn perf together! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to photograph their wedding in Delaware this June, but I was beyond honored when they asked me to capture their engagement session. I mean there are a million and one photographers and they chose me! I’m kinda still on a natural high from that, just saying. Lauren and Anthony you guys were way too much cuteness. Thank you again and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Carolina & David. Engaged. Viceroy Hotel Santa Monica Photographer.

They met at one of the least expected places- a gas station. He caught her eye and she caught his. She had never done this before (flirting while pumping gas) but she couldn’t resist his perfect smile and the fact that they were both coincidentally wearing workout clothes. Carolina thought it was silly and felt so giddy while talking to him, but she had this instant attraction for him. David pumped gas long enough for him to muster up the courage to ask for her number. They both were a bit embarrassed and excused themselves for being so romantically forward at a common pit stop. Still, they exchanged numbers. At that moment, they knew it was more then just their physical attraction that kept them intrigued. True love does exist and it’s more in the personal connection that sends explosions into our bodies, like fireworks on the forth of July. Just plain magic….”Call it Magic” (Sorry, I just broke out and sang)! As a Chiropractor, Carolina has a very busy work schedule, so one weekend David swept her away for a much needed relaxing mini-vacation. They had a massage at Glen Ivy, dinner at the W, and finally relaxed on the balcony of their hotel where he proposed like a boss. He got down on one knee and opened up the famous cube-shaped box. She was enchanted by his thoughtfulness and of course agreed. I love it when clients I’ve known from the past ask me to photograph these amazing moments in their lives because it’s like time is non-existent. We pick right up from where we left off(for Carolina it was in sigh school) and become re-kindled friendships. Carolina is a sweet as a sugar-coated Christmas cookie. She is one of the most giving people I know and I’m sure David loves that about her. David is shy but has a calm quality to him that just makes you feel at ease and secure when you are around him. He is Carolina’s knight in shinning armor and it shows by the way he glances at her with nothing but love in his eyes and touches her so tenderly. They are a match for sure, and did I mention they have a darling daughter. I’m looking forward to documenting their glances and much more this coming September. Can’t wait!

Melissa + Luis. Engagment. Huntington Beach Engagement Photographer.

Laughter is the best…form of showing love and affection (ahhh you thought I was going to say medicine-well that too). Melissa and Luis kept each other cracking up (and me too) throughout their engagement session. It was super duper fun because, of course, Luis was making silly poses and faces almost after every serious pose. Oh, the outtakes. I would totally show them, but I think I’ll just hand them over to Melissa for future bribery (I mean use).

Their relationship began as a work romance when they met as youth sport coaches at a recreation department in 2006. As I can recall from what Melissa told me..these two young kids started chatting as friends, dated and fell in love. “The end” she said. Ha, she’s hilarious! After that they were inseparable. They received their bachelor degrees side by side, traveled on various adventures and started creating a fun-filled life together.

After Melissa and Luis took their Christmas card photos with me this past December they wanted to ask me to be their wedding photographer. However, they knew they were getting married on August 9th, which was only two days before my due date. Whaaa!!!!!!! I was so sad that wasn’t going to happen. =( …But what an honor that they still wanted me to photograph their endless love for their engagement session! I (along with my huge 8 month belly) was on board! These two are just too cute with their stylish selves! Congratulations Melissa and Luis! You two were amazing and I wish you nothing but love!
They are so playful, I think my jaw started to hurt by the end of the evening because of all the laughter.Excuse me, models!
Don’t mind his perfectly awesome matching argyle socks! The boy can dress…(Whoever knows which line this movie comes from you are awesome)I love your dress Melissa!How great are their kids’ smiles going to be, right?My favorite! Second favorite because this just sums up the session: Smiles and relaxation!
