We first met Dave at one of our weddings last year, and after meeting his fiancée Kelly, they soon became known as our "food buddies". In fact, they were the ones who introduced us to our current local favorite, Rai Rai Ramen. Too bad they will not be catering their wedding this August (smile). We will be sad when they move to Maryland in a few months! Don't forget to come back for some good Asian food.

Their engagement session took place at the New Jersey Botanical Gardens--more like a hidden secret garden if you ask me. Between looking out for rattlesnakes and applying yummy-smelling bug spray, we had a good time chasing the sun and making sure Dave and Kelly were going home cross-eyed from looking at each other so closely in the face (smile). And there was no better way to end our evening than with a good meal and great company. Thanks for exploring with us, guys! See you at our next dinner reservation.

All those times we drove by that random field, caught a glimpse of the small, isolated waterfall by the highway, and stopped to glance at the river behind our building--we always thought they'd make great locations for an engagement session. Luckily, Gloria and Sean wanted a change of scenery from their neighborhood in Philadelphia, so we finally had our chance to explore these little gems hidden in our own backyard--welcome to Somerset, New Jersey.

An innocent "hello" in an old physics class turned into "marry me" a few years down the road. And although Gloria and Sean still have a few more years of textbooks and all-nighters to go, they are on their way to making a difference in people's lives. Well...at least for better eyes and teeth. But before they get there, they'll change their own in a couple months when their words become "I do".

The east coast had a pretty rough winter this year, and so did the cherry blossoms. But the few that survived our brutal winter became the perfect backdrop for Anna and Jeremy's engagement session--and thanks to the power of cropping, you can't even tell (smile). With a couple watts of juicy sunlight and Anna's cheerful personality--what we saw through our cameras surprised even us. We met Anna and Jeremy only a few weeks ago, but meeting them again felt like old friends. Perhaps because we all miss California? In any case, we had a great time climbing trees, catching the sun, and getting a just little muddy (sorry guys). We finally stopped when the sun disappeared, and, though we were a bit exhausted, it was definitely smiles all around.

We're excited about taking your wedding photos at St. Regis Monarch Beach, California next year! But only on one condition: we need to hit up In-N-Out as soon as we get there. Double-double, animal-style, special sauce, and boat-less fries. Drool.
