I’d have to say this engagement session with Kate and Sean in Irvine ranks up there with the most relaxed and fun shoots we’ve done in a long while. We always get questions about where engagement sessions should be, which locations are best, what people should wear, etc. And not only are they great questions, but they are the right questions to ask if you are really wanting your photos to be a little less traditional and a bit more modern and unique (aka our awesome brides).

For Kate and Sean, this was the easiest conversation ever. They knew that they were the most comfortable in and around their home and their style was definitely more laid back and stylish. Done deal! And when Erin and I showed up to The Park community in Irvine, we quickly saw why they never would want to leave. Styled after the parks and housing in New York, around every corner you came face to face with beautiful architecture, fun light streaking through, and a wonderful place for Kate and Sean to be themselves. Little Roxy also joined us at the beginning for a little walk and enjoyed her glamour shots before heading back to her couch watching March Madness.

We had the best time with these two and you can just see how incredible happy they are when they’re together. We can’t wait for their wedding later this year at the Ponte Winery out in Temecula! Thanks Sara and Ryan for getting married so we could meet these two!

Here are a few moments that hopefully give you a glimpse as to how much these two can’t wait to get married.
