Smog City Brewing Co. Engagement Session | Ryan + Erin

Smog City Brewing Co. is a craft brewing company in Torrance, California.  This Los Angeles Brewery was kind enough to host us for the engagement shoot we did with Ryan and Erin.  I always tell my couples to make your engagement session about you and your relationship.  Sometimes couples will choose a theme.  Others just want to do nice portraits to document their love and engagement at a park, the beach or other location of choice.  For this couple, they wanted to incorporate their love for craft beer and the brewing process.  So what better place to shoot then a brewery where all of this magic happens.  Ryan, the groom to be has been brewing his own beer for about 10 years now.  Since becoming a couple, Erin and Ryan brew together and will be blending a special brew to celebrate with at their wedding in October.

I loved shooting this session.  The industrial location makes for a fun background for photos and it really fit for Ryan and Erin’s personalities.  Thank you, to Smog City for allowing us to document this couple in your world of craft beer.  The beer was great, the couple was fabulous and the photos are spectacular.  A big congratulations to Ryan and Erin on your engagement.  We can’t wait to shoot with you guys for your wedding.

Sweet O Donuts Shop Engagement Session | Connor + Jacey

We are sharing today, Connor and Jacey’s engagement session at the Sweet O Donuts Shop in Huntington Beach. When we talked about ideas for engagement sessions, the couple mentioned about always going on dates to the donut shop. Jacey lit up when we talked about the possibility of shooting the session there. I loved the idea and couldn’t wait to shoot it!  The ideas came rushing through what we wanted to do before we even got there.  Sometimes some of the best photos come from a simple idea with a cute couple in love.

Thank you to the owners at Sweet O Donuts for letting us photograph this sweet engagement session at your shop.  Also, for surprising the couple with the donuts shaped in the phrase “Marry Me”! That made such a great photo op. This session was so much fun and I loved working with all of you. Connor and Jacey are such a fun loving couple and we can’t wait to shoot their wedding in June.  Stay tuned for the wedding photos.  Enjoy the photos!

Disneyland Engagement Proposal

I am so excited to share this surprise engagement proposal for Kevin and Samantha that I photographed at Disneyland.  Kevin reached out to me from Australia where he and Samantha live and asked me to shoot his engagement proposal when they came to vacation at the Disney Resort in Anaheim, California.

I have to say that major props got out to this guy as he had it all planned out to be a moment that Samantha would never forget.  This girl got to be a princess for the evening.  The romantic date started with a horse drawn Cinderella Carriage from their hotel by Savannah Rose Carriages which dropped them off at Disneyland.  Kevin’s plan was to do his engagement proposal in front of the Cinderella Castle, so it all tied in to the theme.  I watched them start the ride down the street in the carriage then got in place where they would step off the carriage.  All of the shots were captured from a distance.  As I followed them down Main Street in Disneyland, Samantha had no idea I was there.  I was able to capture all of the small moments prior to their proposal, the actual engagement and then we took a few shots of the two together after they got engaged.  My eyes teared up in this special moment.  I am truly inspired by these precious times in peoples lives that I get to capture.  It was so wonderful to see them so happy.

You are going to love this one!  A big congratulations to Kevin and Samantha on their beautiful engagement.  Thanks for having me be a part of this awesome day.  We hope to see you at the wedding as we would love to go to Australia and photograph it.

Cheers and love to you both! J+D

Crystal Cove Engagement Portrait | Mike + Shannon

Mike and Shannon are engaged!  We photographed this engagement portrait at Crystal Cove in Newport Beach.  I love it there.   You can enjoy a milkshake at the Shake Shack, take a stroll on the beach or have dinner at the Beachcomber.  Gosh, it makes a great date spot here in Orange County.

It was such a beautiful day for a beach portrait with a gorgeous sunset.  It was fun to capture these moment with Mike and Shannon as they are both so cute together.

After our shoot, Jeff and I enjoyed a Mai Tai at the Beachcomber.  They are so good!  It reminded me of being Hawaii even though we were home here in Orange County.  Thanks guys for a great shoot.
Cheers to you both!

1960’s Inspired Engagement Session at the Dresden in Los Angeles | Lawrence + Amanda

We are so excited to share this 1960’s inspired engagement session of Lawrence and Amanda that we shot at The Dresden in Los Angeles.  The idea for this shoot sparked from an old photo of Amanda’s grandparents that she shared with me.  It was a very basic shot of the two sitting at a table in a restaurant back in the day with cocktails in hand.  We wanted that old Hollywood type theme for these two and what better place to shoot then the well known restaurant and lounge at The Dresden.  Some of you may recognize this place as it was featured in the movie Swingers.  It has such a cool vibe with the low light, high back tufted cream booths and awesome lounge areas.  We started the shoot inside The Dresden restaurant where we did a series of photos of the couple sitting in the booths.  We then did some cool black and white photos of them in the lounge area.  Finally, we ventured outside for a few shots in front of the restaurant and at a nearby news stand.  Great stuff!  Ultimately what made this shoot such a success was our couple who really got into character with the 1960’s attire and just had fun with their engagement session.

Congratulations to Lawrence and Amanda on their engagement.  It was so great to do this shoot and we can’t wait to capture your wedding day as well in October at the San Diego Maritime Museum.  That should be another fun venue to capture some moments.

Cheers to you both!

Palace of Fine Arts Engagement Portrait | Brad+Dee

Spring is here and wedding season is just around the corner!  Recently, we took a trip up to the San Francisco Bay area to do an engagement portrait for our wedding couple Brad and Dee.  It was a beautiful day in San Francisco with clear skies to document Brad and Dee’s engagement celebration.  To our surprise we even got a shot of the couple out by the Marina with the Golden Gate bridge in the background.   It’s funny because more often then not it is always foggy when Jeff and I visit there.
Brad and Dee were so great to work with.  I loved when Dee just kicked up her foot in a couple shots and just had fun being in love.  We are looking forward to shooting their wedding in June at the Crooked Vine Winery in Livermore.  Until then, enjoy the photos from the gorgeous San Francisco city.

Cheers,
J+D

Urban Engagement Portrait with Phil+Julia

Phil & Julia = Engaged

 

We loved photographing Phil and Julia.  Oh, and don’t forget Bebe, their dog.  She is here too!  Phil and Julia decided on an Urban look for their engagement portrait.  Julia is a designer and she likes the look of texture and architecture.  Turns out it fit the fun personalities of these two just perfectly.  You wouldn’t think that such a simple wall background would make such a sweet photo! Lots of cute moments to share of our friends.

 

Engagement portrait with couple and ampersand sign

This was one of my favorite shots of the day with the couple holding an ampersand sign. I love the windows too!

Cute focus on the groom-to-be!
