Ines + Andrew | Engagement Photography | Pismo Beach, Ca

E-mail Ari to Document Your Wedding

Recently, I was privileged to shoot Ines and Andrew’s engagement photos. The location? Pismo Beach, CA. Ines, a Bakersfield native, used to spend time in the Central Coast when she was younger so it was only appropriate to share her old stomping grounds with the one she loves. The unpredictable weather of the weekend brought us rain in the middle of the engagement session. But the rain was a blessing in disguise allowing me to capture Ines and Andrew enjoy their time in the rain. I’m excited to have this positive and fun-loving couple be a part of my line up of awesome weddings next year. Here are some of my favorites from the Pismo Beach engagement session:

Kristeen+Jimmy | Engagement Session | San Francisco, Ca

Back in my days at UC Davis, I photographed Kristeen’s college senior portraits. Now she’s getting married to one of my people’s, the Laotian superstar, Jimmy Shexouquovongkhasong! It’s always a great honor to be apart of the lives of people I’ve photographed in the past and help document their life as they move forward.  For Kristeen and Jimmy’s e-session, we explored the city of San Francisco and walked around random areas which proved to be a fun adventure for us. I later discovered that it was Kristeen’s birthday that day, so it was really a great honor to know that she would want to spend the day letting me photograph her on her birthday. Big happy birthday Kristeen! And congratulations to this wonderful couple.
