Melissa + Bryan are works of art, literally! I was super drawn to them when I first met them months back at our consultation meeting. I loved their style, look, and attitude. When we were planning their engagement session I was super excited because I had been waiting for the perfect couple that would fit a specific location I had been eyeing for a while now. We made our way to one of the many abandoned farm houses in Chino. Melissa + Bryan definitely were the the best for this location look and feel. I had a crazy hard time narrowing down the images for this post, so I'm posting more than usual for an engagement session, but I truly am in love with the session as an overall work of art.
Wedding soon to follow in a few weeks!

Loving these two! No offense to all the mormons you shoot, but this is more my style with the rusty old buildings in the background and tattoos on your targets!

Heather + John were our first couple that booked for 2010, so I definitely feel like they are good luck in a way! We talked specifics over the phone and then met them for the first time at their engagement session on the campus of Chapman University. I really loved working with pillars, stairs, and...the library!
I'm looking forward to the wedding in February!

Amelia, I absolutely LOVE your work! I am always so inspired. I was wondering if you would mind sharing your lighting setup? Do you use a flash off camera only or do you use a modifier as well? Particularly the 2nd to last shot? Thank you again for sharing your talent.
