They make my heart smile, was all that I could think about while looking through the lens. It wasn’t the looks or smiles or laughs they gave each other, but the way they smiled at each other with their hearts. It’s the love that can’t be described, but just, felt.

Geoffrey and Chendal are getting married this September and I know their wedding day will be amazing! For their engagement session, we visited their old stomping grounds of UCI where they first met and then to Newport Beach for a little more fun.

We had the most amazing amazing light that day!

Here are some more cheesy smiles that I really adore.
Aren’t black and white photos so timeless?
This was the actual dorm room that Chendal lived at while on campus. Geoffrey later confessed to me that he used to stalk her, but see, stalking paid off!

Some more of that beautiful light! These two made my job easy!

This was my favorite photo of Chendal. Geoffrey calls her the posing / photo queen!

A quick change and we were off running!



There was no lifeguard on duty, so we took advantage!
Geoffrey waited all shoot, just to carry Chendal out to the water. He didn’t get all the way in, but just knee deep.
