These go out to my engineering co-worker Vince and his lovely fiancee Ann! Talk about a kick arse day with these two crazy love birds. We started out at 9AM and didn't stop shooting until after the sun had set, starting the day in Downtown LA and ending at Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica.

The couple looking out at the big world that awaits them:

Getting the morning paper together:

Pick you up at 7 tonight? Sounds good babe ;).

It felt like we were taking a walk through Central Park in New York City:

Two people on opposite sides of the circle about to meet:

Enjoying breakfast in front of the skyscraper:

Gazing at each other in the middle of the street...

Ann lays her head on Vince's shoulder; don't the two look very peaceful?

Kissing in the woods:

Looking through the tree trunks:

Matching color outfits :).

Hanging out at Cal Tech's administration building:

Can you guess what shape Ann and Vince are making?

Holding hands along the pillars:

Check out the fine lady Vince is picking up!

Afternoon stroll along the golf course trail and beach:

Gorgeous day for a photo shoot!

Hiking down the trail to the beach:

All natural light from the beautiful sun:

Wonder what Ann and Vince are making with those rocks on the sand?

Their initials with Ann's engagement ring on one of the rocks :).

Looking cool and stylish:

Holding each other as the sun slowly sets in the background:

I really love this moment here:

But like this one just a tad bit more :).

We decided to end the evening with some Christmas window shopping...

...and dinner at a fine restaurant in Santa Monica:

Ann and Vince stand still as the chaotic world around them turns:

Talk about a seriously FUN couple to work with! Hattie and Andrew are mucho awesome because they were so easy to work with and willing to try out all my whacky ideas. We spent the early afternoon wandering around Pasadena, starting at City Hall, working our way to the Westin Hotel and shopping centers on Colorado Blvd., and ending the engagement session at...well, you'll see in the photos below :).

Kissing in front of the water fountain at City Hall:

Hey guys, look at the camera and smile :).

Andrew proposed to Hattie all over again:

Leaning against the pillars and admiring each other:

Andrew is a true gentleman. He picked out a rose from the garden for Hattie:

They played some hide and seek and made funny faces at me:

Holding each other underneath the colorful leaves:

Kissing along the church walls, tsk tsk ;).

She's pretty and he's handsome:

The dynamic duo gets ready to take on the world together:

Peaceful moment here as Hattie lies her head on Andrew's chest:

Looking through the pillar holes:

We decided to take a break inside the Westin Hotel:

I like how the lights illuminate Hattie and Andrew here:

Hattie has been playing the piano for over a year now, so we got one of her doing just that while kissing Andrew:

The man of her dreams...is also the one in her make-up mirror:

The lovely couple walking along the store that Andrew bought Hattie's ring:

PDA! Call the cops ;).

Andrew, this is Hattie. Hattie, this is Andrew:

"Getting to know each other" at the coffee shop minus the coffee :).

This is how Andrew proposed to Hattie; kudos for going down on the right knee Andrew!

Andrew played for his university's basketball team, so we decided to get some photos of him with his two biggest passion in life:

Ballin'; don't mess with these two!

Hattie throws an alley-oop to her fiance:

Andrew Maxie with the slaaam dunk! I think I've misplaced this photo, it's supposed to go in the NBA section :).

Hattie shows why she owns Andrew in basketball ;):

Uh oh, the ring for the basketball. What a tough trade here! Told you these two lovebirds were so fun to work with :).
