Jenny and James are sweet, authentic, people who truly enjoy just being together & I think it shows in their expressions in this engagement shoot. They’re getting married at The Peninsula Beverly Hills in just a few weeks & being from LA, they wanted to do something that represented who they are and a place they love to visit. The location credit goes the couple, good call, I love the Griffith Observatory! I would love to do another 20 shoots there. The light and view of the city are ridiculous! I kept thinking about the classic, Rebel Without a Cause while we were there. It’s definitely one of those spots that takes me back to being a kid and thinking Mr. James Dean was the coolest. Check out a few images from their shoot!

Jenny & James are a sweet couple.  We had a great time working together, they’re so easy going  and  I dig that.  Not only are they sweet humble people, but I have to give it to them, they picked a great song for their slide show! ….is the suspense telling to push play?    I’m looking forward to their wedding in just a few weeks at the Peninsula Beverly Hills!

Congratulations to Erin and Justin who are getting married early next year at Mariner’s Chapel. I had a lot of fun shooting their engagement photos in Old Town Orange. We were trying to go for a vintage look, and we got some great shots that I hope you enjoy. They’re a great couple and I look forward to shooting their wedding, which is being coordinated by Fleur de Lis Events. It’s gonna be exciting!

Natasha and Navin are from New York City, but flew out to shoot with me and be near where their wedding will be, which is the Hyatt Regency Long Beach. I got so many great shots I just had to share more than I usually do! Enjoy.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the engagement shoot giveaway during the Festival of Brides! Congratulations Vanessa, I can’t wait to work with you soon!

Here’s an interview with Ed Quigley of Bloomingdale’s(He’s the Registry Manager) in Fashion Island at the Festival of Brides. He’s a great guy to get in contact for your registry needs!

Stacey and Dan are getting married this April at Seven Degrees in Laguna Beach, CA, but the Rosenthal Winery was a brilliant backdrop for their engagement shoot.  Their love for each other truly shines through in their images and I am so excited for their wedding date this spring!  Until then, enjoy the slideshow!

Here’s a quick peek at Stacey and Dan’s shoot in Malibu yesterday.  They LOVE wine, they love modern sculpture and being outdoors together. So Rosenthal Winery was a perfect fit.  Oh and check out one of the only pieces of the Berlin wall in the US! Dan had to put up the rock n roll fist for that one.   We had so much fun and they worked it! I couldn’t help but stay up and post a few favorites. Congrats you two! I can’t wait for the wedding day at Seven Degrees!  More images from the rest of the shoot at Craft to come soon…
