First of all, thank you to everyone that posted such sweet comments on my letter to my dad, it really got me through yesterday. :)

Melissa + Eddie are both beautiful people (to say the least), their wedding is just a week and half away and I can't wait to see what they'll do with their Spanish theme!

Cassie + Eugene are super sweet! I'm really looking forward to their wedding, especially because I get another chance to work with Nancy (a former bride of mine) from So Happi Together, she'll be their main coordinator for the day.

This engagement session has a good mix of nature versus urban, I thought it all went really well together!

There are so many elements to the engagement session that have really caught my interest. The couple, the location, the style...I'm super happy with how it all turned out! Teresa (now into the fashion industry), was dappling in the photography industry and actually attended our first LYON-SHOP last year back in July. She and Kenneth fell in love with our work and hired us to shoot their upcoming wedding. Also, on the day of their engagement session Teresa showed up with a fun new dress for me....I LOVE when clients are so sweet to think to bring gifts, it really made my day!

What can I say about Jennie + Darwin?? I will first start off with the fact that within the first ten minutes of meeting them I could see that they are definitely two pees in a pod, meant to be, and absolutely perfect together! Their favorite place to visit happens to be the happiest place on earth DISNEYLAND! I'm usually reluctant to shoot there, but I was up for the challenge and I am super stoked on how the images turned out! Plus, I got to spend a fun afternoon with these two awesomely-silly-amazing people!

I usually start out my engagement sessions with a little pep talk to the couple. I let them know that the first few photos always feel a little bit awkward, but then they'll feel more comfortable as we continue the shooting. I began the "pep talk" with Jennie + Darwin and the next thing I know Darwin has already swept Jennie up in his arms and laid a huge kiss on her, it was the perfect start to their session and a great way to break the ice!

These are amazing. I am a diehard Disneyland fan and was told by our photographer that this would not be possible. So to me, you accomplished the impossible in the most amazing way. Truly capturing the fun loving couple, the romance of the park, and the life of both as well. Looooooove them!!!!

ok. i've seen so many pictures of Disneyland engagements, but none like this. You really captured an unique portrayal of the couple and a one of a kind memory for them. That first shot is ridiculous. you continue to excite and rejuvenate my love of photography. LASTLY, i wanted to know if you love your radiopoppers better than Pocket Wizards and which kind do you have? (thanks in advance)

Okay, first of all, SO SORRY for the blog hiatus! Time to get my rear end in gear and get my blog post on! Kristyn + Ryan are the first of the week, they rocked this engagement session, it really is one of my favs of this year so far! Justin and I were especially entertained by their humor, we totally "got them" and they totally "got us"! That's the best recipe for a great portrait session. Now on to the eye candy:
