So, this post is fun. Like, super fun. Like I’m kinda smiling as I type it right now because I’m just SOEXCITEDTOSHOWYOUALL fun. Not only do I get the honor and privelege of working with the FAB duo @ Palos Studio for R+J’s wedding this weekend, but it’s got a cherry on top because Rachel, as I mentioned previously is a current team member here at In The Now. She applied to be an intern and although she was already a client and planning her own wedding, I knew the moment I read her application that she was meant for the job. How do you say no to that? Seriously!
Rachie and Josh got their engagement pics taken a while back. At Disneyland. At 7am. What troopers!! Onto the goodies:
Kissing. On a bridge. With hearts. How can I not just adore that?? This one might be my fave:
Rachel has coined their wedding the “germexican wedding”, as Rach has family flying from Germany and Josh’s family is Mexican to the core. It should be a GREAT mix of heritage and traditions paired with lovelies to looksies for all of us detail-fiends!
PERFECT example of Rachel’s personality. Rachel worked at Disneyland for a few years actually, which is no surprise to those who know her. And although she may be “drama, drama, drama”- she’s really not DRAMA. Does that make any sense? For that, I’m thankful!!
This is the way love should make you feel. Like you’re the only two people in the world, in a sea-full of others. Sigh…
Onto outfit number 2 [aka, bigger and better things]:
This is just how this couple is. Kicked back. They have fun together. They laugh. Josh makes lame boy jokes and Rachel rolls her eyes. It’s been so fun spending time with them, becoming friends, knowing them on a personal level. I’m so glad that Josh is Rachel’s perfect compliment. When it works, it just WORKS!
LOVESIES:
And of course, you can’t have an engagement session at Disneyland without it…
The teacup shot! Totally. I dig it. I’m into it. I’m feeling it. I’m down for the cause.
The reason R+J worked this shoot so much is because it meant something to them. Are you still seeking the perfect place for your engagement pics? Try finding something personal to you two. The restaurant where you had your first date. The pier where you first kissed. The place where you had your biggest fight [even if it's at home!]. No matter the memory, make it you. Remember that a truly great photographer can work anywhere and make it truly WORK. So, just be you, where you’re “you” the best- where your memories have been made. After all, these pictures will last a lifetime, and there’s nothing more romantic and special than the story you get to tell of the wheres and whys regarding your engagement pictures.
And as always- if you’re looking for someone to help you along in your process of designing a killer wedding, don’t hesitate to contact us directly or stop by the website of Southern California’s Most Stylish Event Designers. We’d love to hear from you!
