Marisa + Leon | Engagement

I'm so happy to have had connected to this amazing couple through a friend of a friend of a friend! This session was such a breeze because their connection was so strong and I could just let them do their thing the whole time. I had a blast!

This is my second time shooting at the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Jose. It's too bad that they have now issued a photo permit requirement to use the garden as a backdrop. Just as we ended our session, the rangers were shooing out the other three photo sessions (graduation portraits, bridal portraits, and a family session) that were going on.

Lucy + Dom

I met Lucy back in our college days at UCSB and I finally got an opportunity to take photos for her and her long-time boyfriend, Dom :) I remember contacting her almost exactly a year ago and I'm glad we found some time in our schedules to match up. We had the photo session during the beautiful golden hour at the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Jose. They were amazing to photograph and were just naturals at posing themselves!
