Category Archives: Engagements

There are moments in life every now and again when you walk into a room full of strangers and one of them stands out to you as someone you must meet. Such an occasion happened when, two and a half years ago, Adam walked into a French class and saw Sarah across the crowed room (much thanks to the musical South Pacific).  He was determined to get to know her so he asked her to be his study partner in French with that goal in mind.  They found themselves at a coffee shop with the intention of studying but managed to talk for hours about anything and everything else but French.  Adam knew he really liked Sarah and began asking her out.  Six tries later Sarah finally agreed to go to dinner with him.  Adam, being the gentleman that he is, showed Sarah a lovely time by taking her out to an amazing Michelin three star restaurant.  They are now one of the cutest couples we know always finding time for one another frequently in the form of bike riding, hiking, camping, and even a random BBC show on Netflix.  Needless to say we were really excited when Adam popped the question to Sarah one night after a relaxing dinner and movie.  When it came time to start planning their engagement session, the four of us had a time of it trying to decide the best location because there were just so many good ones.  It came down to Joshua tree (which turned out to be just too hot) and Griffith Park.  The Griffith Park Observatory turned out to be the perfect place for these two.  The wedding takes place in beautiful Solvang at the Sunstone Winery next year.  We wait with baited breath for the wonderful occasion. Thank you Adam and Sarah for such a fun day!






  • Chad and Jenna have known each other for about seven years. Over the course of their relationship they developed a few vacations spots that have become almost tradition. Rocky Point in Mexico across the Sea of Cortez from San Felipe is a favorite spot of Chad and Jenna’s to soak up all the beach and sun have to offer. In March 2010, on one of their yearly trips, Chad proposed to Jenna on the beautiful beaches of Mexico. What a perfect place to ask such an important question!
    Another of Chad and Jenna’s traditional trips is to hike into Supai village (Havasupai Indians) just above the Grand Canyon, bringing with them as many friends as are adventurous enough to attempt the 13 mile hike. Down there are 3 magnificent waterfalls (Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls, and Rock Falls). For three years Brett and I have been in wonder of the pictures they bring back from this magical place. This year we joined them for the joy and marvel of the trip, but also to shoot their engagement pictures. It was clear to us before we embarked on this adventured that Havasupai was an important place to Chad and Jenna and given the wondrous beauty it was, without doubt, the perfect place for their photos. Hope you enjoy these fun and delightful shots of this truly loving couple in their favorite place on the planet.


Here’s a peak at Donna and Mark’s romantic and fun engagement session.

The Second part of Lauren and Brandon’s super fun photoshoot. The sun was going down and we had one more spot we really wanted to get to. So we scurried over to the beautiful eucalyptus groves in La Jolla for a little different feel as day turned to night.  Erin brought along some great vintage velvet chairs and strung hearts in the trees for a whimsical romantic feel.  That girl knows how to set the mood.  Thanks Erin for bringing along such great props the shoot wouldn’t have been as great with out your vision.
