A Painter and a Food Editor …. I LOVE artist couples! (= Gillian and Jake kicked off their shoes for an informal shoot at their place in Venice. Be sure to stay tuned for a peek inside their Palm Springs wedding – cheers you two!

How many people do you think get engaged in Central Park each year? Google couldn’t give me the stats on that… I’m proud to say that Central Park is where Tony and I got engaged. Jerese told me that Sean asked her to marry him by the bridge in Central Park too! Jerese and Sean are getting married at one of my VERY FAVORITE venues this year … the abandon mansion at Alder Manor. But this New York couple came to see me for a shoot in Malibu over the holidays. Jerese is a Michigan girl who loves the outdoors. Of course she is! Anyone could see that just by looking at the pictures (:

Christina and Walt have a wonderful wedding planned… they’re getting married at an old Dance Hall in Walt’s home town in Monterey. Walt attended Boy Scout meetings in this hall when he was just a tyke…so much history there. I’m REALLY excited for their event. For their engagement photos we spent the day shooting in and around their home in South San Francisco. These two have a storybook life. (= Congratulations Christina and Walt….you found each other!!!
