MnM Photo

This is probably one of my favorite things: to photograph proposals and the formal engagement sessions, because you're able to experience the different stages of the couple and get to know them and their story. Also because its the time where they are most comfortable with being photographed, and excited and basically high off of Love. It's definitely worth it to photograph both occasions! I definitely recommend it! 

Now to Jonathan and Bemilda, Jonathan was referred to me by a mutual friend ( YOU ROCK!) and he called me to ask if I was available Oct 16, and I was and then the next weeks he kept me updated in the plans he was doing to surprise Bemilda. It included going in a ride to the Gondola thru Coronado Island for an hour, just the two of them at sunset with wine and strawberries! He made a scrapbook of their times spent together and in the last page it had the proposal! Take a look at the photos for yourself! 

I definitely had fun photographing this special event for them, and seeing them happy and celebrate with both families was great! 

In the end it was worth all the prepping Jonathan made with both families because she was totally surprised and extremely happy & she said YES to Jonathan. 

Congratulations Jonathan & Bemilda!

First proposal of the year that I photographed, I was contacted to help a group of friends that where helping Forrest get everything together for the day he will propose to Lindsey. Annie will also be photographing, Forrest sister and best friend Nathan helped get everything together. Lindsay and Forrest recently moved away from each other (not that far), so Forrest to make up for the time of not being together he invited her to eat at El Prado Restaurant in Balboa Park, afterwards they had a walk into this garden and Nathan had positioned the book Forrest made in the bench and had given Forrest the ring while Lindsey had no idea what was going on. It was a special book with all of their memories, and special words dedicated to her, and in the last page it had a photograph of him holding a sign with the question. Meanwhile all of us where hiding in the area next to this garden, Forrest sister recording a video, and Annie photographing from another spot and me from another. Everything worked out perfectly, and well you can see for your self. Hope I didn't creeped them out, since they had no idea who I was! :P (I did introduce myself after, hence the portraits after**)

Thank you for letting me be part of this special moment in your life and Annie for inviting me to help, and Jamie for recommending! 

Enjoy this session! & 

Congratulations on your engagement!

I got a phone call about a week before this special day from Freddy letting me know about his plans 

to propose to Maggie, and of course I said yes. I was immediately excited to photograph this occasion because I haven't photographed one and well because I've known Freddy for a while and Maggie (Maggie modeled for me a few months back). I googled tips on how this works, from other experienced photographers. It was pretty nerve wrecking the hour before, all of us where trying to get it perfect and well not ruin the surprise for Maggie. It was a pretty emotional experience, and I'm thankful for them for letting me be there and take this images that they will always have. Congratulations!!! :)
