Linda + Peter :: San Juan Capistrano Engagement

linda-peter-fav-18
Linda + Peter are self-proclaimed nerds but really, they’re just two goofy smarty pants! They met during undergrad years at UCLA and their love story is pretty much how all love stories go: boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl already has a boyfriend…oopssss!!! They maintained a platonic relationship for years while Peter secretly harbored his crush. When Linda was single and ready to mingle again, Peter was sure luck was finally on his side. But nope, Linda had other ideas and wasn’t ready to be tied down to another relationship quite yet. Frustrated but not one to give up easily, Peter kept his eyes on the prize and after giving him the runarounds for another year, Linda finally surrendered her heart to him. Awwwwwwww. On one of their first dates, they went to Disneyland, the happiest place on earth…and so of course they ought to live happily ever after. 

I’ve known Linda for years now and I swear we’re kindred spirits because: 1) she loves lists and schedules 2) she imposes self-banned in order to get stuff done (hello…I went 2 years without watching TV while in grad school) 3) she loves food. While we were driving around San Juan Capistrano looking for a scenic photo spot, we decided that we were hungry and ended up spending the next hour pigging out…before ever snapping a single picture! Future clients, please take note haha jk! 😉

Linda + Peter, we are so lucky to call you friends, and we are honored that you have complete trust in us to capture your special day. Now, let’s start counting down to May 23, 2015!!!

Black & White Wedding Photography

I love me a black & white portrait. What is it about this simplicity that can evoke such strong feelings of intimacy, elegance, and anticipation…?!? Despite all her jitters, Ivy simply couldn’t wait to see her groom. 😉

Mary + Thang :: Wedding Anniversary Portraits

Today, Mary & Thang are celebrating 5 strong years of wedded bliss. They met 12 years ago while helping out at a confirmation retreat and I can only imagine sparks flying and Thang being all googly-eyed while stealing glances at the pretty girl in front of him. I mean, that’s what really happened right?!? Or…knowing Thang…he probably used his humor and silliness woo Mary over. Smooth, very smooth! 😉

I met Mary a few years ago at a youth leadership camp and we bonded while working together to defeat the other teams. 😛 Mary is a sweet, kind-hearted, and one very classy lady. These lovebirds are now parents to two little boys (Jaden & Nolan are SOOOO cute and well-behaved!!!!) and I love seeing their family grow together in faith. Mary and Thang, we are so honored to have documented this special time in your life and wish you two more love, more fun, more silliness each and every day.

And of course…I can’t end this post without some crazy goofiness during the photoshoot. I think we spent more time laughing than actually taking pictures. 😀
