I want you guys to meet Andrew and Hanna! When trying to figure out what they wanted to do for their engagement shoot they kept gravitating towards an Alice in Wonderland inspired concept that incorporated a lot of negative space. They choose the Noguchi Plaza as the backdrop to tie in Hanna's love for architecture and art as well! I just LOVE the way these photos came out! Hope you all enjoy them as much as we do!

Happy Monday everybody! What do you get when you have a super sweet couple, add in a awesome backdrop and some yummy s'mores...one rad engagement shoot! These two were so fun and made us even more excited for their wedding next year! Hope you guys enjoy!

Happy Monday! Here is a super sweet engagement shoot we did a little bit ago including a row boat, bow tie and a picnic! It can't get much better than that! :) I just want to give a little shout out to this lovely couple because they were beyond troopers during this shoot! Not having the "ideal" shooting conditions (or any where close ;) ) didn't seem to affect these two as they had smiles on their faces the entire time! We couldn't be happier with how these photos turned out!  Hope you all enjoy!!

I have been excited to share this post with you all for quite a while! Meet George and Melanie! These two are so sweet and playful that I knew we would have a blast during the shoot! I got a glimpse of this somewhere during our 2.5 hour initial meeting. I can probably say that it was one of the best if not THE best client meeting I have ever had. Aside from the fact that they  booked us on the spot (always a very big compliment) they were able to open up their hearts to us on a very personal and intimate level. A level of depth and transparency yet to be matched even in some of our closest friends. We were honored and humbled. I will say it was the first time I have ever had anyone cry during one of our meetings (sorry to through you under the bus Melanie) but it was the sweetest thing and I felt a real connection with you two right away! We had such a blast during your shoot and hope you had as much fun as we did. Thanks again for the yummy Korean BBQ afterward as well :) Enjoy!

One of my favorite things about photography is the ability to capture people's hearts, their smiles and their love for one another. One of my favorite things about our clients (other then the fact that they are the coolest people on the planet) is the depth of their trust in Kristin and I to document their love in any way we see fit. To have that level of confidence in our abilities is not only important for our creative freedom, the ability to get artistically creative images with each new shoot, but also for the client experience and their enjoyment of the shoot itself. When clients trust you they're not worried about what they look like or how they should pose. They're more inclined to stay in the moment and focus on each other. Creating an opportunity for us the photographers to really capture who they are and how they interact with each other.

All that being said Lisa was a little nervous/anxious about being in front of the camera like most people are.. I know I am every time! I'd much rather be behind the camera where I belong :) However once we started shooting we quickly saw those anxious feelings melt away! It made me realize to never belittle the power of trust. So we just wanted to thank you Matt and Lisa for your faith and confidence in our ability to do what we do!  To be honest Kristin and I couldn't see a single reason why you guys could even be nervous in the first place, you both looked like ROCKSTARS!!, regardless we loved our time getting to know you two better during the shoot and we cant wait for your wedding in Palm Springs!!
