LISE & KYLE | Engagement

July 29, 2010 – 10:24 am

As we were scoping the Disney Concert Hall for places to shoot both Stan and I noticed Lise & Kyle standing by the entrance seemingly waiting for something. Lise was dressed in a flowing cream dress and 4 inch Louboutins and Kyle in very sharp suit. We immediately thought that this good looking couple must be watching a symphony and put into our mental rolodex that if we ever watched a concert there that we would have to dress just as sharp. But when they called out to us it hit us that they were “our” couple! :) Needless to say, we were floored when we saw them. They looked gorgeous! And their outfits were perfect against the cool, curvy, liquid-like architecture of the Disney Concert Hall as well as the dramatic lines of LACMA.

We absolutely can not wait to photograph their wedding this December!

KAREN & EDDY | Engagement

July 26, 2010 – 1:52 pm

In just two short weeks Karen & Eddy will be getting married at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel in downtown San Diego. We can’t wait! But first, we wanted to show some photos of their recent engagement session which took place at the Salk Institute and Wind ‘n’ Sea. The Salk Institute was a perfect backdrop especially since Eddy is an architect! We had a great time exploring the grounds and finding lines, patterns and shadows to incorporate into their photos!

Karen & Eddy — Can’t wait to see you guys on your big day! we know it will be AMAZING!!!! enjoy the photos!

GWEN & ARMEL | Engagement

July 2, 2010 – 11:28 pm

Armel and Gwen met back in middle school and started dating in high school! Years later, they are tying the knot later this month in Balboa Park! For their session, we decided to hit up the San Diego fair to bring back some of the good old times we all had as kids. We did some eating, some rides, some games and just enjoyed the moment. Time flew by so fast and the next thing we knew it was closing time!

Armel and Gwen- See you guys REAL soon! We had a blast hanging out and losing track of time! Hope you guys weren’t too tired at work the next day especially Armel. Enjoy the photos!

BISHOY AND NADA | Engagement

When we first met with Nada and Bishoy and Nada mentioned that she loved dogs and wanted to be a veterinarian I knew instantly that she and I would get along. :) Fast forward to their engagement session…we got to know the two of them much better and can honestly say that these two are not only gorgeous but are smart, funny and have huge hearts. They truly are the complete package and they are perfect for one another.

CARRIE & GREG | Engagement

May 20, 2010 – 4:32 am

Here’s the quick version of Carrie and Greg’s love story!

Girl meets boy in high school.
Boy asks “How are you?”
Girl thinks he said “What do you think of me?” and says “I think you are tall”…she was very embrassed!
Girl and boy date in high school
They go their own way during college
Meet again after college and the rest is history!

Greg and Carrie, we hope we told the story right! =) Greg is currently in the middle east protecting our country and we hope the photos bring you a smile! Jeannette and I had a great time shooting and hanging out after the session! Thank you again for being so easy going and for “La Puerta”. See you soon!

MARK & BERNADETTE | Engagement

May 13, 2010 – 1:53 am

One of the many perks of our job is we are able to go behind the scenes in some pretty cool places.  With Mark & Bernadette that cool place was Petco Park.  Mark works for the Padres so we not only got to take photos out on the field but inside the building as well.  It was a blast!  It doesn’t hurt that we were in the company of 2 of the sweetest people on earth with the most infectious smiles!

RICH & GRACE | Engagement

May 4, 2010 – 3:01 pm

Rich and Grace will forever go down in Trailbrook History as the first couple to get soaking wet during an engagement session. :)  It’s a testament to how fun & carefree these two are.  It didn’t matter that a storm was brewing or that the water temp was probably 50 degrees Rich and Grace were down for anything.  Oh!  And did we mention that they can cook? :)  ahhhhhh…we’re in love!  Thanks guys for an amazing time!! :)  See you soon!

CHRISTINA & JEREMY | Engagement

April 27, 2010 – 11:45 pm

We were so excited to photograph Christina & Jeremy’s engagement session in New York. New York is one of our absolute favorite cities to visit so they didn’t have to twist our arm to go there! Not only did we get to shoot all around the city but we also had a pretty gifted tour guide…Jeremy! :) Thanks for pointing out some sites for us!

Jeremy & Christina — You guys really made our visit enjoyable! Wish we had hung out later in the evening so we could try the night specialist! :) We loved all the places you took us and are so excited to show you your photos! Enjoy!
