Engaged // Mallory and Eric

My first memory of Mallory and Eric as a "thing" involved a prank at a summer camp we all worked at. Mallory and couple of friends had the brilliant and playful idea to stuff grass in Eric's shoes while we were all at the lake. Little did I know that this camp crush would lead to so much more.

During a beautiful spring afternoon, Mallory, Eric and I explored Pacific City, searching for empty walls and quiet places to laugh together. Congratulations Mallory and Eric. We can't wait to be at your wedding!

Engagement // Vicky and Joel

Meet Joel and Vicky! In between an already jam packed weekend of photography at Forest Home, I invited this joyous pair up to the mountains. I worked at camp with Joel and Vicky at Creekside back in 2012 and have since shared in life through Catalina, ice cream sandwiches, frantic text messages about cameras, "welp", and Joel's bold and courageous album art which he drove all the way from Westmont during finals weeks to work on. I am incredibly thankful to call them my friends and super excited as they share in many more moments of life together.

This late afternoon during golden hour was one of the most fun shoots I've done. I had an empty camp to work with, and not to mention, Joel's jokes which will remain unsaid. We can from one side of the canyon to the other and finished with a short drive up California 38 to finish with the sun setting over the  San Bernardino Mountains. Enjoy!

Engaged // Chelsea and Charlie

I spent the past week in New York touring the city, eating food, and seeing friends. I had the opportunity to take some engagement photos for my childhood friend Chelsea and her fiance Charlie. We hopped onto the subway and walked around central park on a beautiful day! Enjoy the photos below!

Engaged // Jocelyn and Tim

I had the pleasure of walking around Seal Beach with my newly engaged friends, Jocelyn and Tim. I grew up going to church with Jocelyn and we served on youth staff together while in college. Congratulations!

Engaged // Courtney and Matt

We ventured with Courtney and Matt around a small forest in Orange County and one of their favorite places, the happiest place on Earth! There was plenty of laughter, silly faces, and joy! Enjoy the photos!

Yes, there was lots of this going on.

Off to Disneyland!

Congratulations Courtney and Matt!
