Stephanie & Ryan engagement

Just last week, I ventured out to LA, California to go on (what I like to call) a photo adventure. I wouldn't classify this as a session simply because it was an 8 hour ordeal, all over the map. We started at the BEAUTIFUL Manhattan pier, ventured to Malibu Creek State Park, and finished the day with the sun setting behind us at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. To say we had a variety of images and settings would be the understatement of the year. It was such an amazing day for me for a few reasons. First, it was in California, which means SUNSHINE! (We get very little of that here in the PNW). Second, the soon-to-be bride is one of my best friends. It is such a special joy for me to see her so happy and with such a sparkle in her eyes. Third, I really got to take my time, finding fun angles, trying new shots, and all the while laughing along with two very laid back and fun people. I would LOVE for my all of my engagement sessions to be adventures like this day was! Stephanie and Ryan, I am SOOO SOOO SOOO happy for you and I'm so grateful you chose me to document such a special time in your lives. I can't wait to stand up next to you on your big day this summer! Love you both!
