Engagement Portrait at Dana Point Harbor, Dana Point

Drew and Stephanie's engagement session was rescheduled three different times due to the coastal marine layer. It was worth the wait, the weather was beautiful and Dana Point was charming as always. They were naturals in front of the camera and great sports since we drove around to a couple of different locations. I can't wait for their outdoor wedding in Newport Beach. It's at the Villiage Crean which I recently visited. Every corner offers a view of back bay and the grounds are kept so pristine, you feel like your at Disneyland.

The sake ceremony was such a pleasant surprise. What made it extra special was that the teapot was from Sarah's grandmother. The garden alone is magical in it's green lush splendor combined with Sarah's choice of color, everything just glittered. Gabriela of Vida Floral did a wonderful job with the bouquet and center pieces. The way Charles looks into Sarah's eyes, you can see his adoration for her. It was such a beautiful wedding, thank you for allowing me to take part in your wedding celebration.
