Brandon and Shana are a gorgeous couple with great smiles and big hearts.  They met in college and soon fell in love.  They’re planning a beautiful September 2011 wedding at a Gainey Vineyard in Santa Barbara.  Tonight, we spend the evening in beautiful Malibu getting these amazing pictures!

We switched out a Decemberist poster (a band they saw together in 2007) from the frame for the following shots… I must credit the picture frame idea to Brandon!  I love it!

Ralissa Engagement: Griffith Observatory

I first met Ray and Melissa a few months ago at Urth Cafe… we sat on the patio and sipped our drinks.  They shared the story of their love and plans for a beautiful June wedding.  These two met in LA during film school when Melissa was casting a leading man in her short… turns out Ray was the perfect man for the part.  Melissa shared with me, the first time she knew she was in love with Ray, was during their Euro trip a year later.  Ray loves astronomy and they both visit the Griffith Observatory often.  It was the perfect places for their engagement photographs!  When we went to the Observatory, it was overcast and foggy.  Where you could usually see the Hollywood sign and downtown LA, visibility was very poor and we couldn’t see very far at all.  Turns out, the light was perfectly diffused for some amazing pictures.
