Engagement Session: Ariel & Marc

We had a fun time photographing Ariel and Marc last weekend. We absolutely loved this couple's impeccable style (check out Ariel's fire-engine-red heels)! And the story of how they met reminded us a little of our own how-we-met story. Marc and Ariel were both in the choir at Cal State Northridge (where my husband and I met 15 years ago) when Ariel spotted Marc. She was a freshman majoring in journalism (like I was when I met Braden) and he was a handsome sophomore (like Braden). Years later they met again, they hung out ... and love took over. We wish them a lifetime of happiness, and we're really looking forward to shooting their wedding later this year. In the meantime, here are some of our favorites from their e-session!

Engagement Session: Melissa & Pete

We had a blast photographing Melissa and Pete earlier this month. We couldn't have asked for a more picture-perfect scenario: a beautiful beach in Santa Barbara and a sweet couple in love. Plus, Pete and Melissa were game and didn't mind wading in the chilly Pacific for a few sunset photos! (Thanks for indulging us.) We look forward to capturing their Big Day in March!
