Cindy + Chris’ Engagement Session – They’re both from Malaysia but Chris’ work brought them out to the UK a few years ago. With ties to CA, Cindy and Chris flew out here not too long ago, and the rest, as they say, is history. I got an e-mail from Cindy and Chris towards the end of last month inquiring about an engagement session in So Cal around mid-January.

Yesterday, I finally had the chance to meet this wonderful couple. I know I’ve said this a million times before (and I probably said that another million); but one of the best things I love about my job is being able to meet individuals from all corners of the world and quickly going from strangers to friends. We grabbed some coffee at a Starbucks in SJC and then went straight into the 2-hour engagement session.

I love how Cindy and Chris dressed up for this special occasion. Chris was sporting a slick suit while Cindy wore two beautiful outfits, including a stylish bridal dress for the latter half of the shoot. We attempted to find these mysterious bamboo trees but ended up a few steps short after noticing that barbed wires separated us from the prized location. However, we did manage to dodge an oncoming train while running across a bridge, trespassed a trail that led to these gorgeous yellow flowers, and managed to catch the sunset at Monarch Beach.

Thanks again Cindy and Chris for a rockin’ Monday afternoon. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here in So Cal. Best of luck planning your wedding in Malaysia later this year/early next. I heard there’s this whacky wedding photographer based out of Long Beach who would LOVE to fly over there and photograph your big day ;).
