Brian and Jackie knew they wanted to do their engagement photos at Japanese Garden in California State University at Long Beach the minute we discussed engagement photography.

This place holds so much sentimental value to the two of them!  When Brian has to work late, Jackie would go out of her way, and go to California State University at Long Beach to spend some time with Brian, so the Japanese garden becomes a frequent visited spot for the two of them.

I absolutely love this photo !  It reminds me of a movie promotion poster of a love story !

This photo makes me giggle every time I see it, so full of love !

Since right now is Canon lens rebate time, I bought a 85 mm1.2L lens, and absolutely love it !   The bokeh is so creamy !

Another location that Brian and Jackie hangs out a lot is Dana Point Beach, this beach is very interesting, it’s not a sand beach, it’s a rock beach !

Brian couldn’t resist… was it a bear tickle? or is it Jackie ?

This photo below is inspired by my good friend Caroline Tran !

Enjoy,

At a mutual friend’s party, that’s where they met. briefly. Dorothy and Kyle left the party without each other’s contact information…. Then sometime later, Kyle was chatting with his friend, and asked his friend to say hi to Dorothy for him, you know, the cute girl at the party. Instead of doing that, the friend said, ” why don’t you do that yourself.” 

The day at Long Beach was spent full of laughter and joy, Dorothy and Kyle are so fun to be around! I’m so stoked to be shooting their wedding next year, and I know it’ll be a fabulous wedding !

Kyle whispered something to Dorothy, I didn’t hear it… BUT… I saw her reaction.

while we were chatting, Dorothy told me that they play thumb wars a lot, so I asked them to show me

Dorothy, you’re amazing !
