Engagements Galore!

I spent a good part of this week getting to know a handful of amazing couples.  I shot 5 engagement sessions in six days and had the most incredible time!  Each of these couples will be getting married in the coming months and I have always encouraged an engagement shoot to help develop our relationship before the big day.  Otherwise, I become this creepy guy following everyone around, peeking around doorways, hiding in bushes, etc.   You can be sure, that I'll be writing about each of these couples and their weddings as they happen.  But for now,  a little introduction seems proper:

Kinsey & Christopher:

Allison & Paul:

Kristin & Thomas:

Sarah & John:

Megan & Zachary:

Brent & Brittany - Paso Robles

This past Saturday,  I was blessed to witness Brent & Brittany enter into marriage!  They couldn't have chosen a more beautiful day.  I first met Brittany about 10 years ago, and I was soooooo excited that she asked me to be a part of everything.  I loved watching the two of them before the ceremony,  Brittany could barely contain her excitement!  Brent's love for Brittany radiated, and it constantly reminded me of why I love my job so much.  During the toasts, Brittany spoke of how she always dreamed of her wedding and how she read bridal magazines since she was very little.  Sometimes I forget how much pressure rides on my shoulders!  Thank you Brent & Brittany!!! The two of you are perfect for each other!!

Daniel & Brook - Long Beach

Last night, I had the honor of shooting the wedding of the most amazing couple, Daniel & Brook.  The wedding was held at the Ebell Club in Long Beach,  and it suited these two wonderfully.  Everything about the day oozed with character and style.  It was amazing to observe the amount of love these two shared between their family and their friends.  If you are ever in the need of a Tattoo,  Daniel just so happens to be an INCREDIBLE artist.  You can view his work HERE or visit him at Gold Rush Tattoo in Costa Mesa. Oh yeah, Brook was insanely beautiful (I love her style!).  I am sooooo happy that they allowed me this honor. 

Mr. & Mrs. Ingalls.

Apparently, everyone likes Cameron and Anna, because I have never had this many people pressure me into getting pictures online so fast! 

I can't even begin to express how excited I was for this wedding, also, I can't believe how my expectations were completely shattered.  Lets just go ahead and say that everything about their wedding was perfect.  Just three weeks ago they didn't even have a venue!  I have never been so impressed by hard work and determination, as have have from these two.  Not only hard work on their part, but they had soooooo many friends dedicate loads of their time and energy too.  I posted a slideshow on Camerons' Blog  So go here get a glimpse of how it all came together.  I'm super tired, so I'm going to leave of bunch of pics to finish up the story for now.  I'll add more info later!

Kendall & Rachel - Chapel Hill

I have always wanted to shoot a wedding at Chapel Hill. Kendall & Rachel gave finally gave me that opportunity. Hidding in the beautiful wine country of California's central coast, this Chapel is a true gem. Kendall & Rachel are amazing; They are opposite sex versions of each other. It is the strangest, yet most perfect combination. The day was perfect from start to finish. Beautiful people + beautiful weather = 100% pure awesome. Outdoors we were under the bluest skys I have seen and the inside was soaked with a deep red from the stained glass. Color was everywhere. It was one of those weddings where I had so much fun I never once felt tired. The incredible ceremony was capped off by a fun night of dining and dancing at the Martin-Weyrich winery in Paso Robles. I was pulled on to the dance floor numerous times to exhibit my superstar dance skills (a site to behold). AWESOME!
