Aria and Evan are getting married at a winery, so we incorporated their wine basket into our natural setting engagement session. I love how her red dress stands out in the earth tone landscape! I wish you both the best with your wedding plans!

What a handsome couple! We did Teresa and Kurt’s session at Leo Carrillo Beach in Malibu just before sunset, and they had some really great outfit changes for the session. Their amazing wedding will be at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena in October and it is going to be gorgeous I am sure!

I hope you enjoy some of my favorites..

I am so sorry I haven’t posted in so long!! This summer wedding season is kicking my behind! So my blogging has been taking the hit as I am busy editing and shooting… Anyway here are a few engagement sessions to get started with my blogging marathon ( I hope! unless of course my phone rings, or I get 15 emails or something ) ANYWAY! I am so excited for Rebecca and Aaron’s wedding at Robinson’s Ranch in September. They are so much fun…silly and romantic at the same time. What a fantastic combination.

Here are a few of my favorites…

I love that Kristine and Robert brought so many clothes and props for me to play with! I had quite the selection and very little daylight to work with, so much of this was actually shot in the twilight and in the dark. But I am really happy with what we got at this session, and these two were so much fun! We infused a bit if 1950s nostalgia with some silliness, and some romance and style as well. What a fantastic combination. Thanks for a great session Kristine and Robert! I hope you love the images!

After some frustrating antics with the management at the W Hotel in Westwood, where we were suppose to shoot first, we decided to head to have some fun at the Santa Monica Pier and beach! I love being around these two, they are so genuine and sweet and some of their interactions remind me of my own marriage, so I am so glad to be part of this with them. Here are a few of my favorites from this fun beach engagement session in Santa Monica. I hope you enjoy….

Ferry and Irene are having there wedding in their home country of Indonesia in June. I am so excited for them, but it must be so hard to plan a wedding that far away! I got married in San Diego and that was difficult at times! :) This stylish and adorable couple was really fun to work with and I am very happy with their images. After an adventure of very strict rules at Gardens of the World, we decided to head down the road to Paramount Ranch. With my new permit in hand, I just fell in love with this location. It is now my new favorite place!! The mixture of vintage editing and the couple’s modern style make this engagement session one of my favorites!

Abby and Aryan chose a wonderfully stylish and moody theme for their engagement session. Social Hollywood is one of the most interesting interiors in the city in my opinion. The variety of colors and textures and light is so inspiring and Abby and Aryan fit perfectly in the setting. We then headed to Hollywood Forever in search of some greenery and a different kind of beauty….
A special thanks to Ani at Social Hollywood for having us!

Here is a sneak peek from Jessica and Mike’s engagement session in Malibu at the beach! These two were so easy to shoot…so affectionate and full of personality! More to come soon…

On the Sunday during the end of the fires recently, Tammy and Kevin and I did their engagement session in on the westside. Apparently all of the smoke from the fires in the valleys and Orange County were all settling in the Santa Monica area. I watched fires from my backyard for 4 days and the smoke was never as bad as it was in Santa Monica. But on a positive note it did create a very interesting quality to the light that I was definately going to exploit during this shoot. We started at Royce Hall at UCLA, where Tammy and Kevin met. Then headed to the beach for an apocalyptic looking sunset. Kevin is also a photographer and I am honored to be chosen for their wedding….

Love,
Meghan

Abby and Aryan chose one of my favorite locations for their engagement session yesterday. Here is a first look at a couple of my favorites…more to come as soon as I catch up! :)

I am so excited about being able to post bigger images on this new blog design! Here is a sneak peek of Tammy and Kevin’s engagement session at Royce Hall and Santa Monica pier. I should have more up in a few days!!

Love,

After overcoming some location woes… Lerna, Saro and I made it to Leo Carrillo Beach in Malibu for their engagement session just before sunset. It was perfect light and I think ended up suiting them very well! There wedding is in May 2009 and they are such a sweet couple. I look forward to seeing them again on their wedding day!

Congratulations Lerna and Saro! I hope you had a great time.
Love,
Meghan
