Leo Carrillo Beach Engagement Session in Malibu
Cindy and Anson’s engagement session at Leo Carrillo State Beach was all about soft pastels with a dose of bright colored tulips and breathtaking ocean views. This was a day with beautiful weather, blue skies and very strong winds, which offered us a fun little challenge. :)
These two lovebirds actually already got married, and are planning their wedding reception for next year. They have such great chemistry and are the loveliest people! I loved spending an evening together with them in Malibu and being a third wheel while they took romantic strolls along the beach ;)

Mission San Juan Capistrano Engagement Session | Beatrice & Albert
Engagements season is still in full swing and I’m editing up a storm over here!
Beatrice and Albert’s engagement session started at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano. Every single corner of the grounds is like a postcard with so many cute little nooks for gorgeous photos! Afterwards we stopped at a nearby park for some golden hour photos in the field. It was my first time meeting Beatrice and Albert in person, so I absolutely loved this time that we got to spend together. Not only are they impossibly beautiful together but also two of the sweetest people!

Greystone Mansion Engagement Session, Beverly Hills | Ann-Margaret and Shawn
Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite photos from Ann-Margaret and Shawn’s engagement session at the Greystone Mansion - it was such a pleasure to photograph these two on film!
When choosing a location for their engagement session, Ann-Margaret and Shawn were drawn to old-world and romantic style. We discussed a few options and decided to go with the beautiful Greystone Mansion which is a dream to photograph. To schedule a shoot there isn’t an easy task, but after a few times rescheduling we were finally able to confirm the date for their shoot and it was so worth the wait!
I loved all the blues and hints of dusty rose that photograph so beautifully on film and Maher Haroun created the loveliest bouquet that tied it all together. Cannot wait for these two lovebirds to tie the knot this year!

LA Arboretum Engagement Session | Maura & Cole
I had a blast wandering the grounds of the beautiful LA Arboretum with Maura and Cole for their engagement session. They are one of the sweetest couples I’ve ever met, so full of playful energy, happiness and love! With both of them wearing pastels, they looked like an absolute dream among the gorgeous floral gardens of the LA Arboretum. Cannot wait for these two to tie the knot next summer!

Paris Honeymoon Shoot | Monica and Tim
Tim and Monica tied the knot in California, and Paris was always on their list of places to visit together ever since they first started dating. They began their honeymoon trip in Rome and Positano, and Paris to be their last stop before heading back home.
I couldn't be happier to have the opportunity to work with these two! We started the shoot with the view of the Eiffel Tower, then made our way to a cute Parisian cafe, and ended at the Tuileries Garden. Tim and Monica could not have been any cuter - I loved everything about this honeymoon session, but most of all, the chemistry that these two lovebirds have together. So excited to share a few of my favorites!

Hummingbird Nest Ranch Wedding, Simi Valley, CA | Christine & Joel
Do you guys remember the gorgeous engagement session in Thomas Riley Park I shot earlier this summer? Well, I have been so looking forward to Joel and Christine's wedding, and the day finally came!
They tied the knot on a beautiful sunny day at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch and their wedding was an absolute showstopper with gorgeous florals by Unique Florals Designs and coordination by Hovik Harutyunyan Events. It was so awesome to reunite and meet their closest friends and family they invited to share this special day with them. I'm so thankful to have gotten to know them and so looking forward to seeing what adventures await for them!
Here is a little sneak peek into their wedding day!

Christine & Joel - Romantic Engagement Session at Thomas Riley Park, CA
Get ready for loads of heart fluttering romance and beautiful golden fields coming your way!
Christine and Joel, who are originally from California and have been living in Chicago for the past 4 years, have recently moved back to the west coast and have just settled in San Diego this summer. As soon as they were back, we scheduled their engagement session at Thomas Riley Park in Orange County. I was so excited for this shoot because we'd finally meet for the first time.
These two are an absolute pleasure to be around. Christine and Joel are so down to earth and full of joy - getting gorgeous photos of these two was a breeze! Having trust from them also made a huge difference in creating beautiful and honest portraits, which is one of the many reasons I love engagement sessions. Below are some of my favorites from their shoot - I can hardly wait to photograph their wedding this fall!
