I initially became acquainted with Jessica + Nick a couple years ago through mutual friends. Then after they got engaged Jess reached out to me, we got reacquainted and I was delighted she wanted me to shoot their engagement session.

Their e-sesh was a two parter. The first part was at the cozy Chamard Vineyard. The next morning we changed things up and met in the valley where I had stumbled upon this little urban jewel while out to dinner with girlfriends. I took mental note of said jewel and tried to get almost every client this past year to shoot there. Then jackpot! I finally got to shoot there with Nick + Jess.

Both days were such fun. I mean, what isn’t there to say about them? They’re a super attractive couple, totally down to earth, funny and great in front of the camera. I was spoiled really. Even editing was enjoyable. And as corny as it sounds I had a smile on my face practically the whole time.

So enjoy my favorite frames and fall in love with these two as I did. And Jess, totally agree that we need to hang out! xo

Doesn’t Jess look like Katie Holmes, but prettier?

See what I mean about said urban jewel?

I think this is the first time I shot so vertical heavy, but I do like seeing the frames side by side.
