Being part of such and amazing moment is why I love what I do. Not only do I get to be with my clients on the most important day of their lives, but sometimes, when I am really lucky, I get to witness the moment when they decide to spend their lives together.

Jason did a great job creating a cover story for our photo shoot. The couple showed up to their portrait session in Playa Del Rey with the thought of just getting a few photos to decorate the house. Jason and I had planned a cue, and when I backed up and put them in a pose holding hands, he knew it was time to pop the question! Diana’s reaction was priceless! Jumping for joy and oozing joy! She could not stop jumping, and smiling and staring at her BEAUTIFUL ring that Jason did a superb job designing.

They celebrated by popping some champagne, and after the sun went down, they were off to get ready for their surprise trip to Cabo! I feel so lucky to have gotten to spend this amazing moment with these to and can’t wait to see what a beautiful wedding they will have!

While visiting Washington D.C I had a chance to squeeze in some Spring Mini Sessions. D.C was unseasonable warm this Sunday afternoon at a sweltering 90 degrees! The Carlin Family and I had a blast at The Yards Park which offers a cool water breeze and even a fountain to cool your feet on hot summer days.

The park was close to Jess and Renzo’s heart since they had spent many afternoons there while living in South East Washington. Renzo, being an architect, has always admired the bridge and surrounding new buildings of the area. Oh, and of course its right next to the Nationals Stadium!

A beer themed wedding?! I kid you not! Andrea and Shelby’s wedding was at the beautiful Long Shadow Ranch in Temecula California. The vineyard offers rolling hillsides, and beautiful barn style buildings that make for the perfect rustic backdrop. To add even more awesomeness to the day, the bride and groom’s name is Mr. and Mrs Smith! How is cool is that!?!

We started the day at the quaint Temecula Creek Inn for hair and make up. Andrea and her bridesmaids are make up artist, so the ladies spent all morning dolling each other up while the guys hung out at the ranch. Both the bride and groom had growing anticipation leading up to the big moment!

The ceremony was light hearted and included the classic Wedding Singer song, “Grow Old With You” Lyrics. Like always, I was tearing up behind the camera!

How lucky can a girl get? I was definitely riding and artistic high after walking away from this San Juan Capistrano Engagement Session with Ania and Craig. These two should literally be models, but not only that, they are head of heals in love!

These two beautiful people were such a blast to shoot with! Not only are they GORGEOUS, but they are so in love and it showed through our entire Laguna Beach anniversary session. I love letting loose with couples and really having fun and frolicing on the beach at sunset. I mean, what better place to be right?! Ashley and David are Orange County locals, and I have had the pleasure of working side by side with Ashley as she is the owner and lead planner of Monge Amore Events.
