michelle + danh | engagement | irvine

michelle & danh are quite the stylish couple. they did two engagement sessions and you can view the first one here. for the 2nd session, they wanted something more on the nature side so we met up at one of my favorite spots in irvine. this little area is tucked away and you feel like you’re somewhere else other than orange county.

i can’t wait to shoot their wedding in april. they’re getting married in bali!!! i’ll be extending my stay and heading to australia so if anyone is interested in a shoot…shoot me over an email!

here are my favorites from michelle & danh’s session:
