Stacy and Lee met at UCLA, so when I asked them where they wanted to do their engagement photos, UCLA was a must. As we walked around reminiscing about our college days, you couldn’t help but to notice the strong connection between them. They are cute, playful, and super romantic.
The very romantic couple:
We originally wanted to do the following in front of Royce, but there was a graduation going on and the people never stopped coming.
We tried to wait for Royce Hall to quiet down, but it never did… so we incorporated the graduates & guest in our photos instead:
Aren’t they so gorgeous together?!
In addition to UCLA, we headed out to the beach to catch the sunset.
I love how in sync they walked. I think it represents how they will embark their next journey together.
I love how there are three people and three birds on the upper left corner watching them.
I can’t wait for their upcoming wedding in July! They are so sweet together and so fun to photograph. I can’t wait for their big day!
Jill set me up with another great event. Every event I’ve worked with Jill has been so low stress. Everything runs smoothly and the only thing I have to do is enjoy and document the event. Working with her reinforces how important it is to have a great event coordinator, especially if it’s a wedding! If you’re unsure about whether to hire a coordinator or not, I highly recommend at least getting a Day-of-Coordinator. They really take the stress away from you. They manage the timeline, coordinate all your vendors, and when things just don’t go as planned, they deal with it so you don’t have to. Your day-of-coordinator becomes the point person so you/your family/friend is not the one everyone is running up to for every little thing.
This gig Jill set me up with was for a major pharmaceutical company. They had a district-wide conference and hired me to take formal group shots for each district, and then cover their opening event, a casino night. They have such a fun staff!
Here’s Jill at work:
This would be my poker face:
The whole room was like this when Jason (the DJ) played “Sweet Caroline”. I just pretended they were all serenading me.
