Simply amazing! GREAT WORK!
(04.30.09)When choosing a location for an engagement session it is vital to keep in mind who the couple is, how their love story began and what they are all about. Ricky and Vanessa are an outgoing couple with great personalities and a unique vintage style. For this reason, Old Towne Orange with all of its history, character, and charm was the perfect place to shoot Vanessa and Ricky's engagement photos. With Old Towne Orange as the backdrop we were able to catch a glimpse of the love that has grown over their eight year relationship . At the train station, this couple really started to shine. As Vanessa's hair blew in the wind from the speed of the passing train, we could really see how this couple feels about each other through the look in Ricky's eyes. Congratulations Ricky and Vanessa! We wish you the best!

December is not a big month for weddings. But this December we were pretty busy with shooting corporate holiday parties and engagement sessions. One of these "engagement sessions" was actually part of a series of shoots put together by the PhotogShootout group. PhotogShootout is a group of photographers that get together to network, learn, help each other grow their business, and of course shoot! The December shoot was held in Claremont, CA. Rob and I had never been to Claremont before, but we were both amazed by how cute and quaint the downtown area is. Any of our brides and grooms still looking for a place to shoot their engagement session? This may be a great place :)
The scene below was shot at the Claremont Train Station. I LOVED the costuming and make-up for this shoot. I especially loved the awesome vintage red coat, the headband, and the suitcase.
Rob and I were so excited about these photos, that we actually ordered our first sample album. Thanks to all the organizers of the event. Thanks Steven and Alissa! You were awesome models!
Here are some of the spreads that were included:
