Kim + Shaun’s Engagement Session – This is probably the quickest I’ve ever blogged a session after it took place, as these photos were taken just about four hours ago (helps that we shot literally five minutes from my studio :P). What can I say about Kim and Shaun? They are not only perfect for each other but for me. They’re beautiful inside and out, and are without a shadow of a doubt in love and excited to be husband and wife in less than a month.

Thanks to Angelina and Matt whose wedding was nearly two years ago, I was able to meet Kim (she was one of Angelina’s bridesmaids and the roles will be reversed on Kim’s big day!). I was beyond stoked to get a Facebook message from Kim several months ago letting me know she got engaged to Shaun and wanted me to photograph their wedding.

We had a great time this afternoon hanging out at the amazing AVIA Hotel; their staff was so nice to not only allow us to shoot everywhere, including inside a room, but the bartender gave free rounds of drinks to the soon-to-be-newlyweds. Now that’s service. I’m always grateful for Melissa Selmanson and her staff giving me free reigns of the hotel (thanks guys!). We then walked around the Long Beach marina before ending the shoot.

Thanks again Kim and Shaun for everything, you guys were so MUCH fun to photograph and hang out with today. Super duper excited for your big day next month! See you again very soon :).
