“Love and Baseball” is the perfect title of this love story! Lizett and Brock followed their passion for baseball and it brought them both to Redlands University. She spotted him first at a College Party and immediately knew she had to nonchalantly make her way over to talk to him! He was so shy but that didnt stop her from slowly breaking him out of his shell and it worked! After years of dating Brock decided it was time to make Lizett his wife so he planned a trip to San Diego. Lizett also thought that this trip would be a perfect opportunity for Brock to propose, but when she had a slip of the tongue and mentioned the idea of proposing Brock crashed it down! Little did she know that this would be the last time she would have to drop a “proposal hint” and this was all apart of Brocks big plan! After Lizett sent her mom a text message that she was disappointed that he wasnt going to propose this weekend, they walked off towards the beach. Lizett had no idea that both of their parents were already in San Diego waiting at the beach where they had decorated an romantic area for Brock to pop the question. As they approached the area he was getting anxious and when she noticed all the flowers and candles on the floor she was in total shock! Especially to see Brock drop down on his knee and pronounce his love for her! After excitedly saying YES both of their families came running out from behind a nearby sand dune congratulating them! Great planning Brock!!! Lizett & Brock I had such a great time shooting your engagement session at the place where your love story started, University of Redlands. Your love overflowed for each other and my camera loved you! Me too!!! Cant wait to shoot your wedding this December!!! :) Lizett & Brock were pretty much a big deal over at the University so they were able to pull some strings and get their wedding date plugged into the scoreboard! How RAD is that!!! 12-19-14!!! What a cool personalized bat that was gifted to Brock after graduation. Check out that stunning ring!!! Lizett had some cool Save the date ideas :) Breathtaking!!!

Surprise your girlfriend with not only an amazing proposal, stunning ring, and awesome photographs to capture the moment! She saw a new face at her friend's going away party and just had to go introduce herself to this cutie. George was blown away by her beauty and outgoing personality. He got her number from their mutual friend and gained the courage to ask her out! Five joyous years later during a family vacation in Greece George surprised Marisa by popping the question on their private patio overlooking the gorgeous sunset in Santorini. How Romantic!!! I was so honored to join this amazing couple in Los Angeles for their sweet engagement photos and I'm super excited for their Winter Wonderland wedding this December! They're too stinkin cute! Marisa your so gorgeous!!!! Talk about nice bling blinggg!!! It was exciting to watch their love unfold in front of my camera... After shooting at the Light posts we moved over to a cool little spot that just so happened to match her red high heels :) Perfect! His eyes adore her! Love when my clients act silly :)
I'm not gonna lie every time I shoot a couple I get an overwhelming feeling of excitement and nervousness! My main goal is to make sure my clients feel as comfortable as possible, but I'm also secretly hoping that they chose me; not only because they like my photos but also because they've read my blog or follow me on facebook/instagram and felt that our personalities would mesh well together!
Within the first 5 minutes of meeting Yvonne & Tyler their first joked was a "that's what she said", and I knew we were a perfect match because that's one if my favorite lines! I drop that phrase like no other at home and ill admit sometimes it doesn't make sense, but it's fun to make my family think for a second until they realize it! :) So it was the coolest thing when Yvonne used the phrase "that's what she said" and it didn’t make sense either! Tyler was so kind to bring it to her attention, but at the same time giving her kuddos on all the other times when she did a good job at using that phrase! Some of you have no idea what I'm talking about lol, so go watch an episode of the Office and then you'll catch my drift :) The rest of the day went by so smoothly with lots of laughs! So without further ado I give you Yvonne & Tyler's Love Story: Yvonne & Tyler attended the same law school in Arizona. They were introduced by mutual acquaintances and came to find out that they had a few classes together! Tyler thought she was an intriguing beauty and Yvonne was attracted to his awesome sense of humor and his handsome good looks! Even though Yvonne had a “No Boyfriend Policy” Tyler won her over and they dated for two years before he surprised her by proposing last Christmas! They were visiting his family out in Wisconsin and Tyler took Yvonne to the capital building in Madison after a romantic dinner. It was just passed midnight and snow had just started to fall when Tyler dropped to his knee and popped the big question. After Yvonne screamed “YES!” both of their families came running out surprising her! Huge thanks to Yvonne & Tyler for selecting me to capture your love story and allowing me to be apart of this special time in your lives! I know your wedding is going to be spectacular! Holla at me if you need a wedding photographer! Wink! Wink! ;) |
