We shot Ellie & Ben's engagement session where they had one of their first dates - love the idea of this because the shoot is already off the bat so sweet and personal :). It absolutely fit for them too because they love the outdoors & exploring together, and the flowers blooming all around us just were so much in harmony with what a playful and fun-loving couple they are! I had such a blast working with them omg.

Love, love, love Alice ~ she is such a sweet person, with so much spirit <3. Many, many congratulations to her and her hubby Jimmy! We were all so happy to be able to be blessed with a purple-sky sunset on their wedding day, and really could not think of a better way to end than a couples shoot on the beach :) .

As I have mentioned before, I just cannot resist the cute.
Things with little faces (especially tiny things) that look happily up at me bring me a very uncommon amount of joy LOL.
Soooo......Meet Zassou :D!
Story: Zassou is a weed who admires florists and dreams of one day being featured in a bouquet. But because he is a weed it is said that this will probably never happen. However this does not get him down and according to Wikipedia he has "a positive attitude beside an unrelenting spirit for success!"

No matter what, I always make a trip to scout out every one of my couples' wedding venues before their big day - just to become super familiar with the lay of the land and also the light during the time when we will be shooting. This way, we are super prepared ahead of time for the wedding day and have that much more time for more awesomeness :) ! I also always invite my couples to join me if they wish, so we can walk the venue together and talk about what is important to them and what they like!
Today's scout was with one of my super cool couples, Sunshine & Ken :D!

When I saw the star in the middle of this tree stump, I just couldn't pass it up :) . Being a botanist, Emi loves everything about the world of plants :D! This is why I wanted to be sure to incorporate her theme into her ring shots.
I have a great love of trees too, and the feeling and poetry around the whole idea of them, so it really was too much fun to run around the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden with her and her hubby!

Dana & Nate, it was sooo much fun to shoot with you both at the beautiful Los Robles Greens :D! Dana really loved this cool iron gate, so we made sure to take some couples photos underneath it as the sun was setting - it was nice enough to give us a really pretty golden glow :) .
