She saw him when they were hanging out with their own friends at a bar. She went up to him and tried to match him up with her girl friend. But he had his eyes on her instead. And then they started going out. That was the beginning of Dominique and Jeremiah’s love story.

Now meet this beautiful couple. It was a gorgeous day in Orange County and I had a blast shooting their engagement session. I first met them at the Lab in Costa Mesa, and this was the same place they decided to have their engagement photos taken. I love the Lab. The much desired colorful, textured and earthy elements are all present in this small shopping mall.

Life is not easy sometimes, but they have committed to walking their life journey together. Dominique and Jeremiah, I completely adore you two. I can’t wait to hang out with you again at your wedding next month…bring it on!

They surprised me by bringing their baby Gringo to meet with me. He is such a darling, and photogenic! He definitely scored high by posing for me. Look at him…

The three of them look so CUTE together!

We took a quick drive down to the Newport back bay where the light was sweet and lovely.

Here’s my fav of the session, as I always adore true moments…
