Eric & Rachelle + Engagement

Saturday, February 21st, 2009 + Huntington Beach & Pier
This is the last posting for Eric & Rachelle. Our third location found us at a prime Southern California location: THE BEACH! Even if the day was a little overcast, any day that is just a little shy of 70 degrees equals heaven at the beach. When we approached, we were surprised to see tons of people around the beach. While I would usually say that Eric & Rachelle stand out in a crowd, these two simply slipped into their own little world. On the way home from the shoot I told Rachelle that I would ask her what she experiences as she walks down the aisle the first weekend in May. I have heard many people say (and I too have experienced it myself as I walked towards my own husband) that the entire world goes quiet, and the only thing that is near to existence is the one standing before you. During this shoot, I could completely see that as Eric & Rachelle looked at each other. I simply cannot wait to capture those glances, stares, and to see the world go quiet and well for these two who are so deep in love. Congratulations Eric & Rachelle. You have truly become a part of the O H A N A. Thank you for welcoming me into your lives! MAY CANT COME SOON ENOUGH! :)

Eric & Rachelle + Engagement

Saturday, February 21st, 2009 + Kennedy High School
As promised, here is the second location from Eric & Rachelle's engagement session. This is where the fun begins! Eric & Rachelle deserve to have some kind of award. They met in Junior High, starting date IN JUNIOR HIGH, fell in love, and have lived to tell their love story! Most people boast of having the ability to make it through the early years. Imagine trying to make it through the crazy, hormonal years! These two are a testament to a great relationship that endures. :)

The day of our shoot we had originally planned to go to the Junior High where they met, and fell in love. Sadly, the school was completely locked down and the parking lot was overrun with young baseball players. We immediately headed out to Downtown Fullerton, and then decided to go to their high school, which was just across the street! I hope you enjoy these pictures. I had so much fun with you two!

Eric & Rachelle + Engagement

Saturday, February 21st, 2009 + Downtown Fullerton (Session 1)
T I M E L E S S = Eric + Rachelle. Most couples pray long and hard to achieve timeless l o v e. Anyone who knows Eric & Rachelle will say that these two have the look and feel of timeless love down (see above picture). Their love is like an aged love letter that tells many secrets, deep passion, laughter, and joy. Through it all they will last. They will endure. T I M E L E S S.

On our photoshoot day we were able to visit three different places: Downtown Fullerton, Kennedy High, and Huntington Beach. As I said before, we had such a great day! These two were so natural, relaxed, and in love! I just have too many favorites, so I am going to be breaking up their posts into three different ones by location!

Eric & Rachelle + Engagement Session TEASER

Saturday, February 21st, 2009 + Various Locations in Orange County I had the opportunity to meet Eric and Rachelle at the beginning of January. When you hear the words "love at first sight," in a weird way, this happened for us! Now, I am not in love with these two romantically, but I do simply adore them. From the moment I met them I could feel the chemistry between Eric and Rachelle. Today's shoot certainly was one of the easiest because of their comfort, ease, and head-over-heels in love aura that these two reflected. I am excited for most of my shoots, but I am absolutely overjoyed that I will get to be a part of their wedding day! May can't come quick enough. For now, this is their teaser. We had so many great shots, so their full post will be quite long, I am sure. In fact, this is probably the "biggest tease" I have ever posted! Eric and Rachelle, thank you for such a wonderful day. I felt like I was among friends that I have known forever! You two are truly a story book romance couple!
