It was a warm autumn day in the village - perfect for an engagement session. Carrie and Francesco are both models and had each booked a shoot with me, but also wanted some shots together. Little did I know, they've been talking about marriage, so it turned into a bit of an engagement shoot. We wandered around West Village and captured their love, which is endless and true. Being around these two, you see what true love looks like. Enjoy!
It was one of the busiest weekends out there - Labor Day weekend. Our great thought - shoot at the beach on Labor Day! It was madness, but we did our best to avoid the crowds. These two were troopers and the photos wound up gorgeous. They didn't even have the ring yet, but they were engaged and wanted to get their photos done before the big day on October 8th! Enjoy!
Whether you're chasing them down the beach or trying to get them to relax for a posed photo, dogs are always a blast to have on an engagement shoot! Bryan + Georgia brought their two dogs for the first 30 minutes of their engagement shoot and I told them to just have fun with their dogs and pretend I'm not even there. Their friend came and walked the dogs the rest of the time we were shooting, so we could get some killer shots of Bryan and Georgia! I'm so excited to photograph their wedding come September! Can't believe it's less than 6 months away!!
I was SO SO happy to work with this gorgeous family! It just happened to work out they would be in San Francisco at the same time I was in town to shoot for Eyvi. I met at their hotel and Michael drove us around through Golden Gate Park and Sutro Baths. They were such a sweet family and I'm blessed to have been a part of their journey together! Congrats you two!! Happy wedding planning!
All right, all right... Here's a flashback to the FIRST engagement shoot I did! CRAZY! Also, yet another In-N-Out love story; this time featuring my former manager Stephanie and her now husband, Chris. We first met at Steph's house in Tustin to get some shots at a nearby park, then headed to the Orange County Great Park.

Engagement Tip: Two looks is a happy medium -- one look that's more on the casual side and one look that's a bit dressier. Steph and Chris shot the more casual look at both locations and left the dressier look for the Great Park. Don't forget to accessorize. Ultimately, wear what makes you feel most comfortable.
Capture real, raw moments.
