They met and fell in love on the campus of UC Riverside. Kristen and Luc were both undergrads there, and chose the campus as the location for their amazing engagement session this past weekend. 

Our Sunday afternoon started with some Boba which I had never experienced before. I know, I know- how could I have gone four years in college without having boba? I don’t exactly know. I guess it’s because I never particularly enjoyed small slimy balls in my beverages. I tried it, I kind of liked it and I will probably have it again. There, I said it. 

We then made our way to some great locations, got some amazing shots AND Jordan charmed his way out of a parking ticket. I didn’t think he could pull it off- but he did! I will never doubt my devistatingly handsome husband again. 

We were so happy to have had the opportunity to photograph Kristen and Luc- we are honored to have been chosen to document their love for each other. They are such determined, passionate and genuine people that are perfect for each other. Their love is so organic and beams from them when they are near each other.

We are so blessed to have spent such a lovely day with you two! Thanks guys! 

STAY TUNED FOR KRISTEN AND LUC’S SLIDESHOW- it will be posted soon!

     Moms are the best. They are like living, breathing scrapbooks of the best (and worst) moments of our lives. You can count on moms to keep our fingerpaintings from kindergrten and have photos from the most embarassing times in our lives (ready to show our friends at any moment). Kristen’s mom has one particular photo in her wallet that needs some updating. It’s a photo of Kristin and Brian at the homecoming dance circa 1999- that’s last century people!

     These two handsome people allowed me to photograph them today in Old Town Pasadena. We wandered through some really beautiful alleys and basked in the perfect golden light that exists just before sunset. We took advantage of the beautiful antique brick and soft light coming through the tree branches to get some pictures of just Kristin for her parent’s mantle and a few of her with Brian- goodbye prom pose! Thanks for hanging out with me today guys, I had a blast!

It was one of those glorious days in San Diego; it was unseasonably warm for mid-November and there was not one cloud in the sky. It was on this Sunday that Jordan and I had the opportunity to photograph Melissa and Bobby. 

We drove down to Petco Park in downtown San Diego and found some really lovely backdrops for their engagement portraits. Before I moved back home to LA this fall, I had lived in San Diego for nearly three years. I never had an opportunity to explore all the wonderful new areas of downtown SD until I moved away. It’s ironic, I know.

We had an absolute blast with these two that afternoon, they were so fun! 

Melissa and Bobby- we are so excited to be a part of your special day! We hope you love your photos!
