Brian and Charmaine :: Engagement

With the first month of the new year almost over I am finally posting my first blog of the year! I haven't posted anything because Brian and Charmaine had to be the first blog. Why, you ask? Well, I have to keep with the trend. They were my first engagement shoot of the year and they were my first wedding booked. It would only be appropriate to have their engagement session be the first blog of the year.

I am so excited to work with Brian and Charmaine! They are so fun to work with and they have the cutest story ever! They met in elementary school and Charmaine had a big crush on Brian. He never knew it and life went on. Then, years later they found each other through an elementary school group page on Myspace and were reunited. Talk about "meant to be together"!

For the engagement shoot we headed to their old elementary school where it all started… we even got to go in the classroom where the crush started. For the second part of the shoot we went to Griffith Park so we could do some shots with their bikes. If their wedding is half as fun as the engagement shoot it will be amazing!

Their school was really cool... it was built over 100 years ago

Passing notes in class!

A reenactment of the crush





They are so perfect together... I love it!





A beautiful day in the park!



The light couldn't have been better and the couple couldn't have been cuter!









Bike love =)


Thanks you so much Brian and Charmaine! I can't wait until June!

OH those are awesomeness. I was going to say the not passing one was my favorite, but I can't pick. Snuggling in the corner, the "Love" shot...they are all great! Then there they come, bicycling! I could just eat those up! What a cute story! I could gush all day!
