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.

I met Mark at my gym a couple of years ago and through him met Katie.  We’ve become friends and have had some pretty fun summer nights out as a group.  And lucky  me, I get to see Mark’s mug pretty regularly at the gym where we came up with sweet *endearing monikers for each other (*endearing was sarcasm  ;)  ).  And for some reason, he and my husband call each other Steve.  I don’t get it…  Anyway, all that to say is that I was super excited when he and Katie got engaged and asked me to photograph their wedding!  Woop!  Their wedding isn’t until next June, but I’m excited to see how it all comes together because Mark has some crazy ideas, but Katie is the one who helps keep him grounded.  Good luck with that, girl.  haha!

In the meantime, enjoy my favorite frames from their NYC e-sesh.
