When Kate first reached out to me about her June 29th wedding in Temecula we hit it off immediately. Our conversation flowed easily and I felt like I was chatting with an old friend. Kate and Daniel recently moved to Northern California for work, but still have family in Los Angeles. When they came home for their engagement party we decided that would be the perfect time to squeeze in some engagement pics, and capture the celebration at the same time.  It was a pleasure to finally meet Kate and Daniel and see them interacting with all their friends and family. If the engagement party is a precursor to the wedding, I’m sure the wedding is going to be a blast. I love the entire family and was reminded of what a small world we live in. Daniel’s sister lives super close to me and is a swim teacher. I’m already planning to have her work with my kids next summer.

Kate’s beautiful green eyes (which she shares with her mom and grandma) and bright smile made her an easy subject to shoot; and Daniel reminded me of Chris Hemsworth in Thor—enough said! What a lovely couple.

I look forward to shooting their wedding the end of June at the Temecula Creek Inn.
