Laguna Beach Engagement: Travis & Julie

Travis and Julie totally rocked their engagement session today in Laguna.  They smiled the whole time from ear to ear, the beach was beautiful, and we got an amazing sunset!  Travis is a pilot for the Navy and together they are planning a fun military wedding for next month.  Check back soon to see more of these two!!

Kristin and Jordan: Engagement at Manhattan Beach

I met Kristin and Jordan last month as they started planning their February wedding at The Victorian in Santa Monica.  One interesting fact about their celebration, it will take place at the end of football season after the Superbowl (important factor for the men in attendance!)  The winter sun will set early, and they are planning a romantic nigh setting.   For their engagement shoot, they wanted somewhere fun and meaningful, so they chose a location about 5 minutes away from their place in Manhattan Beach.  It was my first time shooting there and I loved exploring with them!

Angela + Eugene: Malibu Engagement

I’m happy to share an amazing session from this weekend, featuring Angela and Eugene.  We met during the holidays and they shared some great plans for their June wedding at Rancho del Cielo, in Malibu.  For their engagement, they wanted to incorporate some fun and style.  The colors of their wedding will be honey and wheat with accents of coral and blue.  Angela did an amazing job preparing with cute outfits and a basket full of goodies that included bubbles, a paint kit, letters, and origami cranes and hearts they both folded together.  I love the personal touches!

Kaye + Scott: Malibu Engagement Photography

Kaye and Scott met a few years ago during the production of a music video and recently took their friendship to another level.  Kaye loves fashion, Scott is a self proclaimed geek lover, and together they make quite a picture perfect pair!  We spent some time Monday afternoon enjoying the beautiful weather and took some fun pictures.

Love the back lighting on this first ones.  Kaye handmade this awesome purple feather headband for the photoshoot and did her own makeup.  Definitely a woman of many talents.
