UC SANTA BARBARA ENGAGEMENT // JANELLE & CARY

Janelle & Cary met while working at Longs Drugstore. They each had worked at a drugstore in their different hometowns, and when they enrolled at UCSB, they both transferred to the Longs closest to campus. Cary would chit chat with Janelle in the break room, but he longed for, well, longer conversations with Janelle. But here’s where the problem was–Janelle worked in the pharmacy department. Pharmacy, where the rest of the store employees dared not venture. So Cary would watch the clock, and when 9pm rolled around (pharmacy closing time), he would purposefully hang out in places where he knew Janelle would cross his path. And sure enough, paths did cross–and now, over 10 years later, Janelle & Cary are getting married.

It seemed only fitting for Janelle & Cary to return to UCSB for their engagement photos to spend time amongst the buildings and the bike racks where their love first flourished! ;) Janelle & Cary–thank you for such a fun shoot! We loved getting to know you both better & are so so excited to capture your big day! –Lots of love, A&N :)

TOPANGA CANYON ENGAGEMENT // ADRIAN & STEFANIE

They met at work. Stefanie was a secretary and Adrian in charge of inventory, but Adrian soon found that it was much easier counting the amount of things he had in common with Stefanie than items on a spreadsheet. Both into Jiu-Jitsu, their first date was fittingly at a UFC fight. Despite their mutual love for martial arts, Stefanie notes that Adrian is the calm to her storm, her peace in a world that is so often chaotic.

Adrian proposed to Stefanie after they spent the day celebrating his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, and the sentiment couldn’t be more clear. Adrian & Stefanie–here’s to your next 50 years…together! We’re so thrilled to capture the beginning of your journey as husband and wife. :) –So much love, A&N

RINCON POINT ENGAGEMENT // BRITTNY & NOLAN

Brittny and Nolan met in elementary school. What Nolan remembers about Brittny is that she was “this really small, fast, athletic soccer player.” :) Brittny had a crush on Nolan in the fifth grade, but was far too shy to say anything to him about it. Later, they attended rival high schools and so it wasn’t until after they graduated that the two ended up hanging out together amongst mutual friends. A double dinner date lead Brittny & Nolan to 10 years of love, and on their 10th anniversary Nolan took Brittny sky-diving…and popped the question. Brittny & Nolan will be “diving in” for good next month ;) …and we couldn’t be more thrilled to document their day!

MALIBU ENGAGEMENT SESSION // MELISSA & ALEX

Alex and Melissa met on a trip through Birthright, a program that sponsors young Jewish adults on their first trip to Israel. Melissa was a trip counselor, Alex an attendee. They hit it off on the trip, and when they returned home stateside their first date took place in Malibu, where they walked along the beach with a glass of wine and enjoyed fresh fish at The Reel Inn.

Both warm, kind-hearted and funny, it’s no wonder Alex & Melissa fell into each other’s lives so perfectly. We absolutely adored getting to know them during their engagement session and by the time we parted, we felt like old friends. Alex & Melissa–we’re so happy for you both & cannot wait to see you at Malibou Lake Club in June! :) –Lots of love, A&N

CONEJO VALLEY ENGAGEMENT SESSION // SARAH & TIM

Every now and then we find ourselves in the presence of  two people that just seem to fit together seamlessly. There’s a sense of ease and comfort in their relationship, a mutual understanding if you will, that is shown in the way they take each other’s hand and light up in one another’s presence. Sarah & Tim are one such couple.  They met in high school, but it wasn’t until some years later that they began to date. Early in their relationship, Tim had known that he had met someone special–and he left a bouquet of roses on Sarah’s car. 4 years later, and Sarah still has those dried roses…and that uniqueness Tim had recognized is evidenced in the ease of their relationship, the beauty of their friendship, the seamlessness of their love.

We were super excited to meet up with Sarah and Tim and their adorable dogs, Max & Rio, on Monday evening and capture the comfort and beauty of Sarah & Tim’s relationship in photographs. Sarah & Tim–such a big thank you for allowing us to capture you as you are, and for putting up with one grouchy park ranger! ;) We are so looking forward to your big day and are incredibly honored to be the ones who get to document it. –So much love, A&N :)
