Engaged :: Michael + Aimee | Balboa Park, San Diego, CA

I spent a sunny day in Balboa Park with Michael and Aimee. Amazing couple... so photogenic and easy to work with. We had a great time exploring (and juggling) around different parts of the park and I noticed right away that these two have a natural chemistry you can feel.

They traveled together for months throughout Southeast Asia which, if you've ever experienced the challenges of extended travel with others in a foreign culture, is a true sign of love and compatibility in a new relationship.

I'm definitely looking forward to documenting their big day this spring!

Married :: Indrani + Michael, Tivoli Too, Laguna Beach, CA

Indrani and Michael got married at the beautiful Tivoli Too in Laguna Beach. The backdrop was a gorgeous outdoor garden courtyard complete with a waterfall surrounded by trees and tropical flowers... all highlighted with romantic Italian charm and of course, twinkle lights.

Indrani did an amazing job of super last minute wedding planning and DIY creative touches with bright green and yellow colors throughout and even a vintage brooch bouquet. See for yourself below!

Amazing party that night! Congrats again to the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Phillips (and lil' Devoni too)!
