Mike+Maggie=Engaged | Orange County Engagement Photography

Recently we celebrated Mike and Maggie’s engagement with a little wine tasting and photos out in Temecula.  This was a little different engagement session as the two just wanted to spend the day together and take some moments as we went along.

Maggie and I actually go way back.  We went to the same high school in State College, PA but she was a few years behind me, so we didn’t actually meet until college.  We both worked as bank tellers during our days at Penn State and then we lost touch after I had moved away.  After all these years, Maggie and I reconnected on Facebook…imagine that!  Then I found out she lived out here in California too and was only about a half hour away from where we lived.  I was totally excited because it was a familiar face from back home.

It has been so great to catch up with each others lives!  One of the best things to hear was that Maggie was engaged to a great guy and planning their wedding.  So, not only did I find an old friend, but we get to shoot her wedding. We are so excited to share in this fabulous day with them.  Until then, we have some great moments of the two on our day in Temecula.

So, our day started out at Ponte Winery where we had a fabulous lunch in which I tried my first cooked mussel.  That was an adventure for me!  We then stopped at Monte de Oro Winery which is a new winery out there that is just gorgeous and they have some great wines!  Finally, we ended at one of my favorites, Leonesse Cellars where we took a few shots in the vines. All I have to say is… AMAZING!!!  Love, Wine and the Vines you can’t go wrong celebrating your love there for your wedding or engagement!

Congratulations to Mike and Maggie, we can’t wait to shoot your wedding!  Thanks for spending the day with us and sharing some fabulous moments with us.  Cheers to you both! J+D

I love Maggie’s expression in this one!

Voted a favorite by all of us!

Love in the Vines!

Mark+Jean=Engaged | Orange County Wedding Photographer

Sometimes we need to travel across the country or even across the world to find the one we are supposed to be with.  This last week I realized it has been 11 years already since I left home and traveled across the country from PA to CA to start a new life for myself.  My goal moving here was to pursue my photography career and  somehow along the way, I found the love of my life.  You never know where you are going to connect with the one who you are supposed to spend the rest of your life with.  I was amazed at Mark and Jean’s story as they are both from Chicago and didn’t live far from each other.  A mutual friend happened to know that they were both out here, so they decided to connect. It is safe to say that the two met and hit it off because now we are taking engagement photos of the two together.  Mark and Jean are a great couple!  We want to congratulate them on finding “the one” and we look forward to shooting their wedding in July.  Thanks for sharing your story with us.  Cheers, J+D


This shot was taken on a Southern California Beach, but it made me feel like we were at The Shore!  A little back East style!
