Engaged - Scott and Elaine

Seaport Village - San Diego, CA

Scott and Elaine make this photography thing seem easy. Sweet to each other and easy going for this whole session, I was glad to be able to work with them just before their upcoming wedding in about two weeks!! Wow! Elaine in fact is the very first bride I officially booked way back in the fall – so things are really starting to seem real now that everything is coming together… and it is quite fitting (for reasons you will see in a post or two- stay tuned!) At any rate… we had a good time even though it was a bit overcast and kinda early in the morning for a Saturday :-) Thanks Scott and Elaine for waking up early to do this! I hope you love what we got!

Now this…this is just plain precious…

This last one is one of my faves of the session… We didn’t know the name of the tree, but it was beautiful! Any tree experts that can lend a comment?

Thank you so much Scott & Elaine for trusting me with your special day from day one… As my first official couple to want to work with me, I am really and truly honored you would give me a chance! I just hope I can deliver the best images I can on your big day – just two short weeks from now!!! Excited!!!

Engaged - Bryce and Julia

Balboa Park, San Diego, CA

Vaness and I met Bryce and Julia at our Rock Marriage Preparation Class this past fall. They have the kind of story of how they met that makes you believe in romance and love… Seriously. And their story just about matches them. We got to know them eventually on a personal level over our 8 weeks together and we have to say that, in so many ways, our class was fashioned together for a reason. We each had perspectives to share that benefited each other in some way… And Bryce and Julia are no exception - they are a really beautiful couple.

I was sooo glad that they allowed me to work with them on their engagement pictures for their upcoming summer wedding! We had some fun at Balboa Park and for me it was a great shot to get comfortable shooting again with some good (and very handsome and gorgeous) friends! Here’s some of what we got! Enjoy!

Julia’s eyes are amazing!!!

Bryce and Julia – you are both ridiculously, ridiculously good looking people!!! (just like zoolander said...)

I really like this next pic a whole lot…

One of my fave’s from the whole day, you gotta end this post with a lil bit of that sun-fire cuz it was an amazingly gorgeous day!

Thanks Bryce and Julia! I hope you had a lot of fun! Vaness and I think you are both way, way beautiful in so many ways and will be definitely praying for you as your Marriage day comes close!
