Laura + Quique | Barcelona Engagement Session | Tibidabo

I first met Laura and Quique the day before I boarded a plane to New York and given that they were just starting to plan their New York themed wedding for the summer of 2013, we felt it was a sign that we were a match made in heaven! ;) Laura is one of the cutest, most excited brides I ever had the privilege of working with and with Quique they make such a great couple to work with! For their engagement session we wanted to do something fun, so the gorgeous Tibidabo park was a no brainer! It has been raining pretty much non stop in Barcelona the past few weeks, but just when we almost really started to worry, the sky decided to give us a break, the sun peeked out from behind fluffy clouds and we had a perfect afternoon and one of the most beautiful Barcelona sunsets I’ve ever seen.

Thank you guys for sharing this very special memory with me. Your big day cannot come soon enough! Only 9 months to go! ;)

Carol & Carlos – Engagement Session in Barcelona

Our engagement session with Carol & Carlos started the same way as most of my shoots do… they were shyly apologizing in advance for being unphotogenic and not really good in front of the camera, while I was smiling in disbelief… I knew what they didn´t, that with two such fun, cute and loving person if I´m not able to rock the shoot and deliver some images they can be proud of it is my own fault and not theirs! As you can see they were more than amazing and my camera couldn´t have loved them any more.

Thank you guys for trusting me and finding such a gorgeous location for our shoot. (the natural reserve of El Prat, just next to the Barcelona airport). I´m so happy you love the images and I cannot wait to share your wedding day with you in just a few short weeks!

Carol sew the heart the night before our shoot… isn´t that cute???

The deserted coast guard building was the perfect prop if you ask me…

One of my favorite images from this session… it wasn´t the most comfortable for them (those bushes do pinch!), but it was sooo worth it! ;) THANK YOU C&C for making it work! ;D

Carol… you put Christy Turlington to shame on this pic…. loooooove it!

C&C showing off their best Dirty Dancing moves! Let´s try this again in your wedding dress… can´t wait! :)

Emily + Gael | Engagement Session in Italy | Cinque Terre

I don’t even know where to begin describing the 3 amazing days we spent  photographing Emily and Gael’s wedding in Cinque Terre, Italy.

From the moment we arrived to the old monastry which served as the wedding venue and our home away from home for the next days, we felt like part of their family eating our weight in delicious pasta and drinking some of the most exquisite local Italian wines. On our first day we ventured out to the beach town of Levanto for their pre wedding session and I cannot emphasize how awesome Emily and Gael were! Jumping in the water? No problem! Running on sharp rocks? Let’s do it! They are not only awesome as a couple but as models as well and it sure shows on their pictures!

More from our amazing Italian weekend including their wedding and fabulous post wedding session including some wedding dress meet pool action coming soon!

THANK YOU EMILY AND GAEL FOR HAVING US!!!!!! I hope you’ll love your images as much as I do! ;)

Ben & Jennie | Engagement Session in Paris | Part Deux

I’ve already shared my excitement about this gorgeous couple in part one of their engagement session… but you didn’t think we would do an engagement session in Paris without having a few pics in front of the Eiffel Tower did you? ;) After frolicking around Laduree, the weather Gods decided to play a prick on us and it started to pour…. like realllly pour! We quickly snapped a few shots at Trocadero, but then we had to find a hideaway spot in a cute little cafe/creperie, which we didn’t mind one bit. After we filled our tummy with delicious treats it was back to work on a Parisienne carousel and we even managed to fit in a few shots with the sparkling Eiffel Tower!

I said it before, I’ll say it again… I loved loved loved meeting Ben & Jennie and I cannot wait for our next shoot somewhere beautiful! ;D Au Revoir!

Ben & Jennie | Engagement Session in Paris | Part Une

Every once in a while you come across a couple that literally blows your mind, the kind of people you wanna be best friends with, the kind that you secretly hope would hire you as their personal photographer, the kind that you adore from the very first email exchange on… Ben & Jennie (from San Diego) are definitely one of those couples! Jennie has been following my journey for quite a while and practically the day after her long time boyfriend Ben popped the big question, she wrote to me to set a date for their Parisienne engagement session.

You can imagine how excited I was to return to the city of lights after my last rainy session in December (see here and here) and how much I was looking forward to photograph Ben and Jennie in this beautiful scenery! I seriously had the best time with these two and I just couldn’t stop shooting them… I think everyone would agree that they are drop-dead-gorgeous as a couple and let me tell you… I could not take a bad picture of them!  ;)

After I initially went through their images I sent a message to Jennie saying: “That’s it!!! I refuse to edit your pictures… they are all so goddamn gorgeous I can’t even handle it! How am I supposed to pick? IMPOSSIBLE. Sorry. You guys need to come back for another shoot! ;) and I meant every single word… as I couldn’t just narrow down the images to one post, it will be a two part session starting with the images we took in front of the famous Laduree on Champs Elysee and frolicking on the streets of Paris…. next time I show you the real heartbreakers we shot around the Eiffel Tower. Coming soon! ;)

Thank you Ben and Jennie for choosing me to capture this very special occassion for you in Paris! You have been amazing! I cannot wait to catch up and work with you again some day soon! ;) HAPPY WEDDING PLANNING!!!
