We are so excited to be a part of Aaron & Cristina’s wedding day! What an amazing couple filled with love and excitement for one another! Their engagement session took place in two places. We Started the engagement session at Gardens of the World in Thousands Oaks , Ca . This was truly an amazing place. It was a slight representation of their wedding say in Chicago, which is also taking place in a garden. The second location was in beautiful Malibu , Ca . They wanted an editorial vibe with a setting sun and a beautiful California beach as their setting.We loved the images we captured here!

Film Inspired Engagement Shoot

Engagement photography Malibu

Sometimes I like to change things up and shoot  film during a photography session . This engagement session was taken in Malibu , California on 5/17/2013. I used a Canon A1 in manual mode with Kodak Ektar 100 film . I scanned the image in using the Wolverine F2D2 film scanner and imported into Photoshop for basic corrections along with simple manipulation. The film was expired and was exposed to elements,but overall I love the outcome! Film is a great way to simplify , yet get creative looking images. If you have any questions about gear/ technical I’d be glad to help you out! For booking engagement sessions you can e-mail us at [email protected]
