Temecula Engagement Photographer

>>> May 17, 2013 >>>

It all started with a wink, then a wink back. That just so happened to put the ball back in his court. Or I guess I should say his field? You see from the time he could remember, Bryan was a huge baseball fan. The Angel’s in particular. So after a few conversations online he invited Tara to meet the first time for drinks, he then invited her to an Angel game. She wasn’t thrilled with their first meeting, I mean he seemed like a nice enough guy but she didn’t see the sparks. That was until she saw him in his element. The place he was most comfortable, where he could be himself. The baseball game :) Not only was Bryan a complete gentleman, he made her feel like a part of the family… a part of the experience. He bought her an Angel hat and a shirt so she would blend right in. Ok, so NOW there were sparks. And from that moment on, they were inseparable.

Though Bryan & Tara are from Orange County, they joined us out in Temecula to hang out for the evening. We started in Old Town Temecula, then headed out to some orange groves. It was the perfect setting. And I really don’t have to tell you how adorable these guys are, you can witness from the pictures yourself ;)

Balboa Park Engagement : Amber + Jasen

>>> February 20, 2013 >>>

First impressions paint the first layer of the way we perceive one another. While we may hold onto the importance of them, the layers of perception become as thick as the personalities we judge. It gives us the ability to create a masterpiece of art, when we realize that first impressions are merely first impressions.

When Amber was first introduced to Jasen in high school, she was completely put off by his outspoken and harsh sense of humor. Jasen was not impressed by Amber’s loud and outspoken personality. It took a long time for them to get used to each other when they realized how much they were actually like each other. Over time, 10 years to be exact, their friendship grew into a mutual attraction. They valued their friendship more than anything and didn’t want to ruin what they had. But what they had they could not deny, because they fell in love.

These two are going to be sealing the deal on their love at the Lake Arrowhead Resort this year on the snow kissed mountains. I’m so excited about this because this SoCal girl has always dreamed of shooting a bride in the snow!

Jasen & Amber we had an amazing time hanging out with you guys in Balboa Park for your engagement session! Thank you for having us be a part of your incredible day, we can’t wait for it!
