Pauline and Jon are SO fun! I don't think I have ever laughed as hard shooting an engagement session as I did with these two :D Seriously, they are such a delight and you can really see how much joy and love they have with one another! These two met at a missionary retreat back in 2012 and had sort-of a complicated beginning to their relationship. Once they decided they really did like one another they dated for a year and then got engaged this past November. Pauline's ring is actually a family heirloom from Jon's family and is an original vintage ring! These two wanted someplace modern and different for the backdrop of their engagement photos since they are having a modern/elegant vibe to their wedding day and they mentioned the Cerritos Public Library . We had never been there but when we showed up were were amazed: did you know the Cerritos Public Library was so cool? We didn't! :) We had a blast exploring the exteriors and interiors of the library as well as the nea

Caitlyn and Christopher loved my printing sample invitation and save the date so much, they chose that design in their colors for their invites. We loved how they turned out and love the engagement photo that they chose for the back of their invite. Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!

Tiffany and Danny are a quiet but super sweet couple :) They met over 6 years ago when Tiffany was Danny's bank teller! They kept seeing each other over and over at the bank and to make a long story short, they started dating and got engaged last year in April on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City! They wanted an elegantly simple  (with slight touches of vintage) engagement shoot to match the feel they are going for with their wedding so naturally I thought of the Griffith Observatory as a great location! I also brought a long a pack of polaroids to add to the vintage feel of the session :) These two have such a tender energy between them and we are so thrilled to be shooting their wedding in November!
