Venice Engagement Shoot - Vicki + Paul

We only had a small window of time, since I had to catch a plane, but Vicki & Paul really made the most of our time together for their engagement shoot. I don't think they come any cuter than these two, and honestly, just the sweetest people. I'm so excited that I get to close out my 2008 with their Los Angeles wedding in a couple of weeks.















See you soon, Vicki & Paul. Can't wait!

Playa Vista Engagement - Racquel + David

I had the pleasure of meeting the beautiful Racquel & David last year when I photographed her big sis, Michelle's Napa Wedding (love this family!). Racquel & David are absolutely adorable, and so is their "baby," Naia, a very bouncy Jack Russell. We started our day in scenic Playa Vista, and ended up down at the beach where we ran into what felt like a Category 5 sand storm. Racquel & David were troopers though, and worked it for the camera despite the elements.

Naia knew how to work the lens too!















I'm really looking forward to their February wedding aboard a yacht in Newport Beach. Can't wait!! Way to rock it, Racquel & David. See you soon!

Lisa + Tim - Sunset Plaza Engagement

I'm off to a wedding in just a few minutes, but I wanted to post a quick sneak peek from Lisa & Tim's recent engagement shoot at their beautiful home high in the hills above Sunset Boulevard. I'm shooting their wedding this Sunday at the Ojai Valley Inn. That's two weeks in a row in the incredible city of Ojai! Love it!!

Spent some time in beautiful Playa Vista, and then off to Venice for this engagement shoot with Maria + Brian, one of the nicest couples I've met! I'm really looking forward to their upcoming wedding at Samba Restaurant in Redondo Beach!

Danielle + Colin - Orange County Engagement

Everything about Danielle & Colin is nothing short of fabulous! So it was fitting that we connected for their engagement shoot at his mother's beautiful home in San Juan Capistrano. A little champagne, a little relaxing by the pool, and two gorgeous people madly in love. Shooting Daniel & Colin's engagement made me SUPER excited for their September wedding! Here are a few of my favorites...

Emily + Tye - Seattle Engagement

I had so much fun last week photographing Emily & Tye on a whirlwind trip to Seattle. I have known Emily and her family for years, and they hold a special place in my heart. This was my first time meeting Emily's hubby-to-be, and I can honestly say that he's a perfect fit for her! We headed to Pioneer Square in Downtown Seattle for these pics. Stay tuned for their beautiful Bainbridge Island Wedding!!
