I had so much fun with Van and Chris for their session, it seriously felt like hanging out with old friends! As ridiculously good looking these two are on the outside, let me just tell you that they have the hearts to match – they’re some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and are just as fun as these photos suggest! We started off at the LA Arboretum and finished up at the historic Colorado Bridge. I love how we were able to combine the whimsy of the garden with the more dramatic look of the bridge, while keeping it all tied together with that light-filled, romantic feel that I adore :)

Can’t wait for their pretty summer wedding next month!

Kim and Matt booked me through email (thanks to being introduced by their wedding planner Uyen!) so their engagement session was the first time we met. I was so excited to find that with as sweet as they were through our email exchanges, they were even moreso in person! I had so much fun shooting them among all the pretty blooms of the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall.

Their wedding will be taking place just down the street from these spots at The Langham next year, and I just can’t wait!

I instantly noticed how Jennifer and Chun have such a sweet connection, constantly making each other smile & laugh. That kind of connection where their senses of humor sync right up and they just get each other. We wandered around the LA Arboretum for their session, which has so many beautiful spots for photos! I was of course especially in love with the pretty pink blossoms we stumbled upon at the end – those soft watercolor hues get me everytime!

Their January wedding will be kicking off my 2015 season and I just can’t wait!
