My first post of the new year on 1.11.11. The first time I met Nicole in a coffee shop to chat about their wedding, I was so excited. It would be my first Palm Springs wedding. We chatted about wedding details and got right into planning the engagement shoot. It had been raining for almost 2 weeks straight in Southern California and we even had to reschedule our shoot. Two days before Christmas, a miracle appeared. The sun came out and delivered a beautiful day for our shoot. It was sunny but slightly overcast – perfect for portraits. Not only that, it was also the 6 year anniversary for Nicole and Spencer. It couldn’t have been a better day than this to celebrate their love story and get to know them.
We decided on shooting in Pasadena because they love the architecture there. I totally agree. Its one of my favorite cities in LA.

Nicole and Spencer also brought along their dogs for the day. So adorable. What a cute family they make 🙂
