“Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, and men below, and the saints above, for love is heaven, and heaven is love. ”  - Walter Scott

After spending an afternoon with Emily and Richard, I have to admit, Heaven felt a bit closer.  These two love each other and love life.  And these two know, without a doubt in their hearts, that they are part of Jesus’ plan for each other.  The way these two seem to bring complete peace to each other by just looking into each other’s eyes is remarkable.   I could say that it’s something truly special, but even that would be an underestimation.

I am looking forward to shooting their wedding this October and seeing a bit of Heaven on Earth realized.

Here’s a few pictures from our afternoon together at Wayfarer’s Chapel near Long Beach and the Disney Amphitheater in downtown L.A…..

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.”  - Albert Einstein.

But you wouldn’t know it with Michelle and Berto.  Gravity has nothing on the force that draws these two together.

I met these two on a gorgeous day last month to shoot their engagement in Los Angeles.  And Michelle is definitely my kind of girl:   black nail polish, Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps (I have a major shoe fetish) and a man who adores her.  A girl really doesn’t need much else….The day was beautiful.  They were beautiful.  Michelle sort of has this Zooey Dechanel look to her and I couldn’t help  staring at these two even when I wasn’t looking at them through the viewfinder of my camera… And it was a beautiful thing to watch these two cuddle, laugh, and have fun.     And love each other.   And it’s going to be a beautiful thing to shoot their wedding in September.   I am looking forward to being a part of the day and being a part of the ‘history of Michelle and Berto’.

Thank you, Michelle and Berto for being so great and easy to  photograph….here are a few from the day.
