Diana & Mo are that kind of couple you can’t help but love!  More than just being INCREDIBLY adorable, these two have that kind of love that just radiates around them, and made me smile all day as we tromped around Orange County for their Laguna Beach engagement session.  This shoot was a beautiful reminder for me, in such a crazy busy time, of how much I love what I do!! What a privilege to be allowed to document so many different love stories.  This one is definitely going to have a “happily ever after” ending for sure!!  Thanks Diana & Mo for such a fun day…I am positive your Spanish Hills Country Club wedding is going to be absolutely amazing!!

I know I say this so much, but I really had such a great time shooting Courtney & Andrew’s engagement session.  These two are such incredible free spirits, with fabulous style and an amazing love & connection to one another. I should also mention that Courtney & Andrew are both AMAZING musicians, and I met them last summer at another Malibu wedding where they were performing and I was shooting. I am so looking forward to their Malibu wedding this summer at the gorgeous Adamson House!

I headed down to my old stomping grounds for this Venice engagement shoot with Nadia & Marcus.  These two are so incredibly ADORABLE, and I really had a blast shooting them!  Their upcoming Dana Point wedding is sure to be GORGEOUS!! Thanks, Nadia & Marcus, for such a fun day!

Brooke & Nathan are just so darn cute!!  I am soooo thankful I connected with these two, and had such a great time hanging with them for their Nashville engagement shoot.  They are so different from each other, and yet absolutely perfect together!  Nathan is the sweet, strong quiet type, and Brooke is the kind of girl who radiates warmth, and is just plain FABULOUS!!  These two have already gone through so much as a couple, and the depth of their love is evident.  We are so looking forward to their wedding in Huntsville, Alabama!! Brooke & Nathan, y’all are the BEST…can’t wait for your Alabama wedding!!!

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with Meredith & Jeremy in Chicago for their engagement session.  This was the first time that we met in person, but I felt like I was hanging out with old friends all day. And what a great city!   These two are such kind, radiant people, and as we walked around the streets downtown, it became apparent that I was in the presence of rock stars…they know EVERYONE!  I’m super excited for their Chicago wedding this summer at St. Michael in Old Town.  Thanks, Meredith & Jeremy for such an incredible day!! I can’t wait to see you guys again!!

I owe all of my INCREDIBLE clients, who I’ve photographed over the last few weeks, a huge thank you for your patience!  With so much traveling & shooting, I haven’t had as much time as usual in front of my computer. I’m even using two laptops now to try and keep up!!  So this is just a sneak peek of the adorable Brooke + Nathan from our Nashville engagement shoot a few weeks back.  More to come really really soon!! I promise…

I’ve been looking forward to my time with Melorie & Art every since we first met for dinner a couple of months ago! These two are FABULOUS! Spending a couple of hours with them for their Los Angeles engagement session just made me that much more excited for their July wedding at the GORGEOUS Reach Resort in Key West, Florida. From what I’ve heard so far about their wedding plans, this is going to be one AMAZING wedding day! I can’t wait to share it with you! Here are a few of my faves from our e-session…

I was so happy when this day finally arrived! I say that because it’s been nearly 18 months since I first met Selina, and we began discussing her May 2009 wedding plans. We’ve been anxiously counting the days (or should I say months) for a loooong time.  These two high school sweethearts are just so ADORABLE together, and it was really nice to spend time with them shooting their engagement session. It just makes me that much more excited for their Ventura County Wedding in just two short months!! Here are a few of my favorites from the e-session…

Selina & Juan…can’t wait to see you guys again soon!

More to come with this ADORABLE couple, Melorie + Art. But for now…here’s a sneak peek from our Camarillo engagement shoot. Stay tuned…

I had such a fun shoot with Fatima & Jaime in Downtown Los Angeles. They are just the sweetest couple, and sooo in love.  There were so many incredible moments between them! It was hard to choose, but here are a few of my favorites…

Fatima & Jaime are having their wedding next month at Our Lady of Los Angeles Cathedral. I’m so excited for their big day!
