Dan & Liz: HONEYMOON SURPRISES!

A few months ago Dan of Dan Stewart Photography contacted me about a honeymoon surprise for his bride to be Liz. I gladly obliged and we set a date while they were out in California for the second half of their honeymoon. Dan & Liz live and work in Michigan and they came out here to visit sunny southern California. We hung out in Newport Beach and Balboa and captured some of the Dan and Liz spark! I have to say I'm a bit jealous, it's not easy as a photographer to be a model in front of the camera and they worked it out! I also thought Dan was such a sweety because he kept the whole thing a surprise. As photographers sometimes we forget to document our own lives in the same fashion we may for clients. Liz had lamented that they didn't have fun photos of them and Dan was listening! He even took her out to buy a sweet new outfit and super sassy shoes for our shoot.

Dan & Liz it was so great to meet you! We had so much fun hanging out with the two of you and we can't wait to do it again! Please come back and visit!!

p.s. this is what newlywed love looks like. they NEVER stopped touching and kissing. I LOVE it!

Liz is gorgeous!!

Charissa & Jason: ENGAGED!!

Charissa & Jason met, fell in love and will be married in December. Their story is short and sweet now but they will journey through marriage together for a lifetime. We met them both while shooting Charissa's sister's wedding in May.

Thanks for spending the afternoon with us in Balboa we had such a great time getting to know you both more. We can't wait for your wedding!

Krista & Drew: ENGAGED!!

Drew & Krista are two very amazing people. They were brought together through technological circumstances and they are soul mates. As we sat over lunch the first day we met them they told us about their careers and how their hearts are in almost the exact same place! They both work with college students and minister to them in any way that they can. They spoke of the theme of their wedding, "deeply rooted" and what that meant to them. Drew and Krista's lives are deeply rooted in the Lord and that those roots will help ground their marriage. We are so honored to be a part of people's lives in this small but intimate way. We can't wait for their wedding!
