Ivis + Mike’s Engagement Session – Just when you think things have cooled off, especially with the recent gloomy weather in Long Beach, the ever-so awesome Ivis and Mike come along and heat everything up again. These two met on a double decker red bus (wink wink to some of the photos below) a few years ago; one is from a small town up North and the other grew up in the city down here. Together Ivis and Mike make one perfect pair. One thing that isn’t a secret…they loooove to have a good time together, especially when it involves a few drinks and lots of smooching ;).

It’s not just their ooberly sweet attire (brownie points again!) and dashing/beautiful looks that I admire, but it’s also how they look at one another and just how much fun it has been knowing them. And who do I have to thank? The one and only Trini Randazzo of NOZZA Studio, pretty much the mastermind behind Henry Chen Photography ;). Ivis is a childhood friend of Trini, and when she got engaged, it didn’t take long for Trini to start helping her plan the big day.

I’m REALLY looking forward to their vintage-style wedding out in Redlands on 4/2. Here’s a few of my favs hanging out with Ivis and Mike on The Queen Mary and at The Sky Room down the block, gotta love Downtown Long Beach! Special thanks to Jared Crawford for assisting/shadowing me on Sunday and the folks at The Sky Room for being so awesome and letting us shoot at their pad.
