LA Arboretum Engagement Session | Maura & Cole

LA Arboretum Engagement Session | Maura & Cole

I had a blast wandering the grounds of the beautiful LA Arboretum with Maura and Cole for their engagement session. They are one of the sweetest couples I’ve ever met, so full of playful energy, happiness and love! With both of them wearing pastels, they looked like an absolute dream among the gorgeous floral gardens of the LA Arboretum. Cannot wait for these two to tie the knot next summer!

Maple & Neal - Gorgeous Wedding at the Greystone Mansion, Beverly Hills

Maple & Neal - Gorgeous Wedding at the Greystone Mansion, Beverly Hills

Maple and Neal tied the knot on a hot summer day at the Greystone Mansion, and what a beautiful day it was! 

They both got ready at a private residence which was full of large windows and beautiful views overlooking Los Angeles. The rest of the day took place at a gorgeous historic mansion. Greystone Mansion has been on my venue bucket list and it definitely didn't disappoint with it's drool-worthy architecture and charming courtyards! If you haven't been to this mansion, I recommend making a trip to enjoy that beautiful space!

I'm so thrilled to finally share a few of my favorites from this day with these two amazing human beings!

Mariela & Javier - Romantic Engagement Session at Malibu Creek State Park

Mariela & Javier - Romantic Engagement Session at Malibu Creek State Park

There is something so wildly romantic about shooting at dusk time, especially when you have a beautiful couple like Mariela and Javier, and a gorgeous scenery to go along with it. Mariela and Javier's engagement session at the Malibu Creek State Park was an absolute dream. The sun was already going behind the Malibu mountains and there wasn't a person in sight. Mariela and Javier were a full of giggles as they danced through the park together under the beautiful sycamore, willow and oak trees.  

During the engagement session, I found out a little bit more about their beautiful story and I cannot wait to document their wedding day as they continue their journey together.

Daisy & Adam - Fun Engagement Session in Venice Canals, CA

Daisy & Adam - Fun Engagement Session in Venice Canals, CA

Oh, these two! Daisy and Adam are so in love and playful with each other, it is ridiculously contagious! They are both from Canada, and wanted their engagement photos to reflect their Los Angeles lifestyle, as well as have a bit of contrast to Vancouver where they'll be getting married soon. The Venice Canals was the perfect choice for their engagement session and it was such a beautiful sunny day! I love coming back to to shoot at the Venice Canals, there are always new fun areas to explore there! Below are a few of my favorites from this shoot!

Jessica & Curtis - Los Angeles Wedding at the Taglyan Complex, CA

Jessica & Curtis - Los Angeles Wedding at the Taglyan Complex, CA

Jessica and Curtis are a true power couple, and after they met back in 2011 in Washington, DC, their lives changed forever. They have traveled the world and stuck together through thick and thin. It was beautiful witnessing them declaring their love for each other at the glamorous Taglyan Complex in Los Angeles. Their wedding day started at the famous Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, which perfectly matches their style of true elegance and class.  The first sentence of Jessica's vows was so powerful that it made half of their wedding guests start tearing up (including myself!), and their love for each other is so intense, passionate and real. It is couples like this that make me believe in true love. Here is a little peek into their wedding day!

Lorraine & Carlos - Romantic Engagement Session at Griffith Park, CA

Lorraine & Carlos - Romantic Engagement Session at Griffith Park, CA

Lorraine and Carlos laughed the afternoon away during their uber romantic engagement session at Griffith Park. After 12 years of dating, these sweethearts officially got engaged and I got to be the lucky photographer to capture their engagement photos. It was amazing witnessing firsthand the love and dedication these two have for each other!

Griffith Park was the perfect location to shoot their engagement session. As a photographer, my priorities are always pretty light, soft background and a couple who are as in love with each other (and as stylish!) as these two. I so look forward to photograph their wedding next spring!
