Michelle and Jake’s Los Angeles Engagement photos were the most FUN. I’ve known Michelle forever: A very long time ago at UC Berkeley, where we were both students, she was one of the very first people who hired me specifically (and not the photographers I was working for) to photograph them. (If you don’t mind my older and less qualified style of photography and editing, you can browse a handful of the grad portraits I did for her and a few of her friends, in 2011.) Anyways, Michelle has been telling me ever since that when she met her life partner and they decided to get married, I’d be the one photographing her engagement. I couldn’t be happier that that day finally came. Jake is a wonderful human and the three of us had so much fun heading to Los Angeles’ Abbot Kinney Blvd. and Santa Monica pier (well, the beach nearby) for their engagement photos. Enjoy all this sunshine, happiness, and love. xx
