BEN & VANNESSA | Disneyland Engagement Session

When we met up with Ben & Vannessa at Disneyland we immediately got to talking about hair & make-up. Vannessa mentioned that her hairdresser said her hair would hold up all day even until the following day. Mind you, it was HOT (95 degrees plus) and humid so i had my doubts but….it totally stayed curled and styled through heat, humidity and even the occasional water spray! :) Needless to say, i give major credit to Vannessa’s hair lady whose info i will post on our blog once i get it. :) I’ve seen curls fall out in under 10 minutes so to last 10+ hours is amazing!!!

What can we say about this shoot except we were happy to spend it with two of the coolest, cutest, down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. We spent all afternoon at both parks and rode on every ride that we could get on. :) And of course, the fact that Ben & Vannessa are willing and able to be silly or sexy or serious made the day so much more enjoyable!

Hey guys! We had so much fun with you during your session. we absolutely can’t wait till your wedding next month!!! :) wooo hoooo hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed taking them!

ANNA & PHONG | Engagement

We’ve known Anna for quite some time. She is our fabulous hair stylist!! So when they hired us to shoot their wedding we were nothing but ecstatic. :) We had a super fun time shooting downtown with these two. Phong — we still can’t get over how your mad face is exactly like your sad face! hahahaha

Can’t wait till your wedding later this year!!!

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.

Nada & Bishoy - We are looking forward to your wedding later this year! Maybe your dad will invite Arnold!!!! :) yes!!! hahaha Thanks again for the delicious dinner! Hope to see you guys soon!


CARRIE & GREG | Engagement

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

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

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

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!
