After a fun filled crazy week we spent in Las Vegas at the WPPI Convention (photos to come soon!) we've been playing a crazy game of catch up, so we plan to be blogging quite a bit this week!

To start our week off we went with Virginia + John's engagement. This sweet couple had hired us almost two years ago, so we were definitely looking forward to seeing them again after such a long time. We shot the session in Fullerton at one of the local high school football stadiums. The weather was questionable as it had rained all the way up until we started to shoot, but we ended up LOVING the conditions and the clouds were unreal!

On a side not, if you like Virginia's hair and make-up, the credit goes to Nicole DeAnne, the amazing brains behind the beauty!
