Happy middle of the week everyone! Yes…the Christmas rush is now in full effect….and yes, we still have a TON of shopping to do….but NO…we won’t stop our blogging streak this week ever for a minute!

Before we go running off the fight those crazy holiday shoppers we wanted to share with you our session with Brandon and Karissa! In a way, their wedding is one of our first destination weddings! But, since they are coming from Arizona TO California to get married, so I suppose it’s just a destination for them :)

Either way, we could not be more excited to shoot their wedding at the absolutely gorgeous Calamigos Ranch in Malibu this coming June! Their families are out here in Cali and if are a bride now, or if you’ve been a bride in the past, you know it’s allll about the family, right?? We love our engagement sessions with all of our couples because it allows us to connect and gain a comfort level and friendship that spills over to the wedding day! That’s why we include an E-session with every couple for free :)

For our afternoon with Brandon and Karissa, there were some butterflies and anxiety for their shoot as the ominous clouds overhead threatened to unleash a torrential downpour at any second. But that didn’t stop these two for a milisecond, these two were troopers! One could swear that it was sunny in their world as Brandon was glued to the side of his beloved Karissa (even though she was fighting a cold…told ya…these two are troopers!).

Our prayers were answered, as the clouds just hung there, providing amazing light and a phenominal sunset for these two to just get away and be themselves! Here are some of our favs!

Brandon struck his Super Hero pose! Not sure if Karissa was diggin’ it, haha
