Eddie & Francesca {e-session}

My favorite moment? When we asked if they would mind doing a piggy back shot, and she said "Can we really??" :D

Turns out, Eddie is usually wearing his piece and she never gets a piggy back ride. Even though both of their jobs require them to be tough, this was one of the sweetest engagement sessions EVER. Francesca & Eddie can bring out the FIERCE - but they also know how to be silly ;)

Francesca & Eddie wanted to do their session at the beautiful Terranea Resort. We had to schedule and reschedule and reschedule again because for once Southern California weather was just not cooperating. But finally we had the perfect afternoon.

You can tell a man's love by the way he looks at his girl.

George & Araceli - E Session

George & Araceli are a fantastic couple, so sweet & engaging. People like to dig LA and while it's true there are lots of fakes, there are also those precious gems who blow you away. They asked to do their session at the Getty, and I was more than happy to oblige. Not only did they choose a great place for their engagement session, they came with a picnic prepared! SO STINKIN CUTE! We can't wait to celebrate with you on your big day!

Ben & Desiree: E Session

Ben & Desiree asked to do their session at the beach, so we headed down to the classic Santa Monica Pier. They brought along Benjo for some additional cuteness & he delivered. We got kicked out of a few spots, thanks for being good sports guys! :) Here are a few shots from their session:









He wasn't too sure about his passenger...

Sergio & Jessica - Family Portraits

Jessica asked me to come do their family portraits after I had done their engagement sangria party. She had all the family meet up in Costa Mesa for some group shots. It was a beautiful day & the resort there is absolutely stunning! Lindsay and I tag teamed - it's always so much better to have two pairs of eyes, plus it can be very efficient when you have a large group. Here are some of our favorites :)

{this last shot was Sergio's idea, so fun & I love how it turned out! Thanks for being up for anything :)}

E Session with Mike and Danielle

We had our first engagement session of the 2010 wedding season a few weeks back, and if it's any indication of the year to come - this 2010 is going to be FUN! :D

Lindsay and I mostly tried to stay out of the way as these two brought the creativity and energy to our shoot! And can you believe that this was in November? California fall is a dream come true for couples who want their photos at the beach.

Wine Tasting/Engagement party = brilliant!

Jessica & Sergio's sangria party was a delightful evening of colorful drinks and friends. What better way to celebrate their engagement?

They have hosted this annual competition for the past 5 years and its been quite a hit. Each guest brought their own interpretation of the fruity beverage and everyone voted for their favorite. Their wedding day is going to be just as creative as their engagement party! Congratulations you two! :)

Netty & Rob E Session

The moment I spoke with Annette on the phone I could tell she was sweet heart! We had a blast shooting this hot couple - even if that meant getting kicked out of certain places :)

We are so excited to capture their special day in just a few weeks & celebrate their new life together!!

Sneek Peek!

We just wrapped up our first formal engagement photo session.
Here is a sneek peak! More to come soon. :)
