I couldn’ of been more honored… Or thrilled to be a part of this couples’ Honeymoon to the USA.
With the help of Google translator, we were able to meet and discuss their photo shoot all the way in Brazil.

I am so excited to show you the rest. This couple was so cute and adorable… it was absolutely the most unique session I have done to date!

Parabéns vocês dois! Espero que tenha tido uma lua de mel maravilhosa!

I really couldn’t wait to share this lovely little session from two ladies in San Diego. Their first date was at a mini golf course.

Pretty much setting up the location of their first look… it was very romantic. Then off to the course

Handsome tuxedo cat…. he had to be part of the engagement session.

So looking forward to your wedding in Santa Barbara later this year.

Lovely little session in Griffith Park.

So looking forward to your wedding at the Castle Green in Pasadena.

In January 2010, a lucky couple won a photography package giveway, from myself and So You’re EnGAYed. I am absolutely delighted to share the photos and the couple’s love story.

Thank you Mary and Peper for being so fantastic and letting me be a part of your beautiful love story.

Although we both attended the same large university for undergrad, it took an LGBT student leadership conference over 500 miles away for us to meet. Coming back home, we weren’t sure if our paths would ever cross again. But, as fate would have it, we ran into each other only two days later in a remote campus parking lot that neither of us had ever been to before, during a time when we both should have been at work. The “coincidence” was too much to ignore and the rest, as they say, is history!

In the five years that we’ve been together, our relationship has survived many milestones: we both graduated from college, Peper earned her masters degree and began her new career, and Mary survived law school and the California Bar Exam. We’ve known for years we would be spending our lives together, but given California’s recent gay marriage dramz, our wedding plans were indefinitely postponed. Finally, we decided “to heck with it!” and began planning the perfect celebration of our relationship regardless of what California thinks!

Planning that “perfect celebration” has not been easy. After six months and a lot of stress planning a Big Traditional Wedding, we decided to reevaluate and make sure we were planning the wedding we wanted and not the wedding that was expected. We started again from scratch and are now planning a wedding much more representative of us: three days of love and cheesiness in Vegas with family! In the same way that love comes in all different shapes, sizes and colors, so do weddings/commitments/ceremonies/lovefests. And we’re SO excited to include Holly (of Cakes and Kisses) in documenting our celebration and cannot wait to share the images with y’all.

Congrats you both on your recent engagement…

On the cliffs overlooking the ocean in La Jolla, she asked her to spend the rest of her life together, gladly she accepted.
We reminisce special moments in our lives, and for this lovely couple, this is one of them. I am so excited about your up coming wedding ladies. It is going to be beautiful and special just like you two.
