Meet Serena and Rob! These two are incredible…fun, authentic and completely in love! We had such a great afternoon together exploring Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, and the Griffith Observatory.  I’m counting the days til their upcoming wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel…it’s going to be an amazing day!

I love it so much when a couple thinks outside of the box, and wants to get creative with our time together! Melissa & Scott are definitely one of those couples! They told me right from the start that they didn’t want to do a typical engagement shoot, and that they’d much rather get all dressed up in their wedding attire, and do a more sophisticated session. My kind of clients! We hit the Viceroy in Santa Monica and Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, and had such a great time. I just love these two for their sweet love, amazing style and quiet sophistication. Stay tuned for pics from their Adamson House Malibu wedding, which was every bit as beautiful and non-traditional!!

I first met Estineh three years ago when I photographed her sister Sevana’s wedding. Estineh actually discovered us online, and told her sister about us before she was even engaged! I just love this family, and I’m so excited to be a part of Estineh & Matt’s September wedding at the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs! I had so much fun with these two during our engagement shoot at the Standard Hotel, and exploring the city near their Downtown Los Angeles loft. Here are a few of my favorites of this beautiful couple!

I had so much fun spending the day with Mariana & Chris. What I love most about these two is how much they adore each other. They were so sweet and affectionate together…it was almost as if I wasn’t even there. That’s when the magic happens. Mariana also just happens to have the most incredible, infectious smile! I actually found myself smiling going through their images. Here’s a little sneak of our recent Los Angeles engagement. I’m so excited for their upcoming Summer wedding at Saint Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral. One thing I know for sure…there’ll be plenty of love and laughter to go around!

I really had a fun time with this lovely couple, Irene & Alex, during their Santa Monica engagement shoot at the Viceroy Hotel. They’re still ironing out the timing  and details for their wedding, but I hope to be a part of that special day when it’s confirmed. You can tell these two really adore each other, and have a lot of fun together. And I had a great time being in the midst of that! Thanks, Irene & Alex!

A big thanks to Fabulously Wed for featuring this incredible Viceroy Engagement Shoot!

Chenine and I have been trying to match up our schedules for months, so it was great to fiiiinally connect with her and Joe at the new swanky Avia Hotel in Long Beach.
