Since I was late in posting on Monday of this week, I thought I’d make it up to you and give you two posts in one week!!! Yes, internet, I do love you , it’s true. ANYWAYS, we met Amanda and Paul for the first time the day that we did their engagement session in Pasadena. I’m always a bit nervous to shoot someone that I’ve never met, but they they instantly took my apprehension away. They were so sweet together and so comfortable in front of the camera. They were willing to go with whatever pose we threw their way and were flexible with locations (even when we got kicked out of the Descanso Gardens because we didn’t know you’re supposed to have a permit to shoot there…a permit that costs $300!!!!!). We had fun cruising around City Hall and Cal Tech (coolest building there….see below). Oh and did I mention their style? They looked fantastic!!!! Trust me, or I guess just see for yourself below!! Paul and Amanda, you’re awesome and your wedding in July is going to rock….I just know it. Enjoy the pictures everyone but be forewarned, Amanda is absolutely extraordinarily stunning. Seriously, beautiful.

“Lay on the floor in our black clothes? No problem! ” *sniffle*…”I love you guys” (ok I kept those thoughts to myself, but it’s true!)


And again, do I even need to say anything? Just look at them! How GQ is Paul in this picture?

Great shots guys! I <3 city hall. =)
