Shiri + Dante | Santa Monica Engagement Session

Shiri + Dante = Magic Love

Yey~Shiri & Dante’s engagement photos are finally here. They are one special couple that I’ll always remember.  I’ve poured my whole heart into their wedding so I already miss them a lot as I’m writing this post. Shiri was such a dream bride to work with; I cannot imagine a more joyful bride than her! From day one, I knew this wedding was going to be special, memorable and fun.  Shiri and I clicked right away, had very similar taste in almost everything (crazy, huh?), she was on top of everything like a planner, and we both fell in love with this charming, one of a kind green venue called, Marrakesh in Culver city.

Dante may be known as the “HULK” around his friends but I’d say he’s a “sweet Teddy Bear” around Shiri. He was always there when she needed him and gave full support and love.  Below are some samples of simply beautiful, utterly perfect photos courtesy of my new pal, Emily. (She is an incredible artist and an all-around great person; working with her was such a pleasure and i can’t wait to do it again soon!!).

I know you’ll NOT want to miss their complete wedding story/photos so stay tuned until I post it soon, but first a little sneak preview of this wonderful couple at Santa Monica College (where they met) and the Pier.

So natural and cute… Look at that SMILE….

Kathy + Tyron | Los Angeles Engagement Session

.

Twilight is my favorite part of day for any outdoor shoot, but for Kathy and Tyron, the light just glowed all day long with their smiles…

This e-session really captures the LOVE without being too over-styled or fussy. It’s simple, it’s sweet and it’s the perfect ending to a pretty day captured by talented photographer, Taek. Los Angeles is the city that paints LOVE, grows LOVE and spreads LOVE. Don’t you agree?

.

Their wedding will be posted very soon!

Tiffany + Joshua | Santa Barbara Engagement Session

.

Taek’s work is so classic and magical and this next set of engagement photos is no exception. There are no balloons, no bicycles… just a handsome couple, fields for days and stormy clouds.

Los Olivos, a charming victorian town nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara County’s wine country, is a popular vacation and wedding spot. This lovely duo traipsed around the town and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and each other’s love. The next photo should be hung in their living room thanks to photographer extraordinaire, Taek.

Their wedding will be held at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu this May. We’ll be incorporating Japanese & Korean culture for this wedding so come back real soon for more updates for this wedding.

Hannah + Thomas | Orange county engagement session

.

Hannah and Thomas is getting married this weekend at Huntington Hyatt Resort in Huntington Beach.

It was a perfect Spring weekend and the photos completely capture the fabulous moments of this incredible e-session.  It was captured elegantly by always-talented Kevin Lee.

I’m sad that our 5 months long of wedding planning is finally coming to an end but I’m very thankful that I met these two wonderful people  and helped them plan their most important day of their lives. Thanks for letting me be part of it!

I just know that their wedding will be just fabulous! Check back with us real soon for more details on the wedding.

Fantastic images of the engagement session from photographer Josh Goleman

Another balloon series…but this time, it’s water balloons!

This engagement session shot by Daniel Kiyoi brings back sweet childhood memories of summer. Hoping the trend catches on quickly, because I am loving this. The energy they give off in these photos is amazing.
