I had a blast with Noemi & Joe. I think we would have kept up shooting their engagement session if we didn’t run out of sunlight. I love my job, thanks guys for the good times. :)

I’m excited for Marybel and Armando’s wedding later this month. I just love couples who aren’t shy to show their affection for each other. Please enjoy these few frames from their engagement session.

Angela & Johnny // Orange Circle

I had so much fun with Angela & Johnny on their engagement session. Their hands and eyes would constantly look for each other and they could not help but to smile at each other. Just before we started they told me they felt shy in front of the camera, so I just told them to forget about me and focus on each other and as you can see, the photos tell the story of their love and joy. Can’t wait for their wedding next month.

Manny & Nora // Balboa Park // San Diego Proposal

I’ve known Manny for some time but I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting his girlfriend (now fiance) which made me the perfect stranger to be inside the beautiful church. Manny and I met beforehand to plan everything out. I was going to be in the church 30 minutes early and pretend to be admiring the wonderful architecture. We had a signal planned out that and even a back up plan. We drew up schematics and and floor plan of the church. We had it covered.

And of course we had to improvise it all since nothing went as planned, Manny got so excited that he arrived at the church 1 hour early. That’s 15 minutes before I was supposed to be there, so I had to sneak in through the back while he ate a snack outside the church. As soon as I walked in I heard nothing. Pure silence; there was no one at the church. I stuck out like a sore thumb and figured I should hide by the side and let them walk by. Once they did I saw the ‘signal’ and I started snapping away. It happened so fast and it was so beautiful… and of course she said, “Yes.”
