Seal Beach: Diana & John Engagement

July 24, 2010 – 3:52 pm

“My sister (Diana) and John are real hams,” says Michelle.  Michelle is a previous Bride of mine from last year and it was at her wedding that I met these two crazy cats, Diana and John. Click  here to view Michelle’s wedding.

Well, they got engaged this year and will wed next month. We shot their engagement session at Seal Beach and along Main St. early this week. The week must have been real exciting, and I bet hectic, since they were leaving for a family trip to Hawaii the very next day after our session together.

Below are a few of my favorites from the session.

Union Station & Olvera St: Katherine & Alex Engagement

July 7, 2010 – 9:56 pm

Katherine and Alex flew in from Boston this past Independence weekend for an engagement session at the Union Station and Olvera St.  Although we started the session early in the morning , Alex was all ready to go. He even suggested some Fred Astaire poses. We originally planned on having some coffee with our first in-person meeting ever before starting the engagement session. However, Katherine booked my services all the way from Boston based on a referral and our phone and email correspondences.  I like to meet my couples first to build rapport and get a general sense of their personalities, but the Union Station was quiet in the early morning and we received clearance to enter the restricted grand room below.

How adorable is the photograph below? Before setting up for this photograph, Alex recalled how he met Katherine at Berkeley, Ca a few years back at a conference. Fast forward a few years and while walking in Boston, he serendipitously encounters Katherine again. It must have been kismet, I replied, so I wanted to seal their fate by having Katherine kiss Alex on the cheek. How cute…

Huntington Library Engagement: Catherine & James

May 3, 2010 – 11:24 pm

Catherine and James held their engagement session at the Huntington Library this past weekend. I arrived a bit early before our scheduled meeting time and sat around people watching. There was a group of young girl scouts posing in front of the Library. They were the cutest little girls I ever saw.  I looked off into the distant and noticed a hot and well-dressed couple walking hand in hand towards the entrance.  I was so hoping that this couple was Catherine and James. As the two approached,  the gentlemen waved his hands toward me and I was elated to discover that the hot couple was them!

The weather was gorgeous that day and the temperature was in the mid-70s. Catherine and James were so easy to work with. The two need very little direction for poses. We ended the session with many hot photographs.

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in September at the Mission 261
