Last weekend we were blessed with a great engagement session with a super sweet and artsy couple – Marie & Andy! :)
Marie and Andy first met at a language Meetup event. After meeting up with them for the initial consultation and getting to know each other for a little bit, we found out that we have so much in common – Andy went to Cal Poly (we both went to Cal Poly!), had lived in Diamond Bar (we lived in Diamond Bar for 10 years!), and Marie grew up in Belize (We went to Belize during our Caribbean vacation a few years ago!) On top of that, Andy is also a lover of photography and owns a DSLR. They said they chose us to be their photographers because they think we have a very romantic, dreamy, and whimsical feel to our photos that they like. We love clients who put in such beautiful compliments for us!!! :D It really warms our hearts!
For the engagement session, we went to The Claremont Colleges, as it was the place where Andy took Marie on their first date. The beautiful grounds and buildings there also reflect the couple’s love of art and architecture. It was a great sunshiny day, and we strolled leisurely from one pretty courtyard to the next in Scripps College, capturing all the loving emotions and embraces. What made us smile, even long after the session was over, was Andy’s obvious adoration and devotion to Marie. He was very attentive to her, and even went out of his way to get a pretty rose for Marie during the shoot (and one that is of Marie’s wedding color!) Now girls, how sweet is that? We are gonna be shooting their wedding next month. (And guess where? At Cal Poly’s Rose Garden!) So excited and looking forward to the day! :D
Here are some pictures from their engagement set:
We mixed in some games to make it a fun shoot:
One of Isabella’s Favorites:
Beautiful Marie:
There’s a Graffiti Wall where past graduating classes since the very first in 1931 have traditionally left their marks. And we thought this is a cool one:
Really love the patio and the roses. Added so much richness and layers to these shots:
Another beautiful one of Marie… with that rose we were talking about earlier :)
This is our favorite picture. Love the flare, the rainbow, the rose, their expressions, everything! :)
Andy this one is for you! :)
We played more games, and they were such good sports for not worrying about rolling on the grass :p
Really love how sweet Marie’s smile becomes when she looks at Andy:
LOVE IT! :)
Another one of our favorites:
That’s all for this time folks. If you read this far, show this lovely couple some comment love! :)
