Engagement Photography: Review of 2011

Engagement sessions or pre-wedding sessions have really allowed to me push myself creatively in 2011.  Each sessions with my couples not only give me the opportunity to get to know them but it makes me challenge myself to creating portraits that are different and exciting all the while capturing the couple’s personalities and love.

Here are some of my favorites from 2011.

Happy new year everyone! This is my first session for the new year! We shot Kevin and Soo Youn’s engagement session in San Francisco on the first day of 2012. Kevin met Soo Youn while based in South Korea with the Army. Now they’re getting ready to get married in Korea! Soo Youn flew all the way down from Korea to spend time with Kevin and his family for the holidays and the new year. I’m super excited to be heading to South Korea later this year to document their wedding day! Destination wedding here I come! Here are a few of my favorite frames from the engagement session.

Farm+Xahmeng | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer | L.A Engagement Session

E-mail Ari to Document Your Wedding

We took Farm and Xahmeng to Los Angeles for our last engagement session for the year! They are our good friends who will be having their wedding next year in Merced. I know this will be something very special to them as they have been dating for a very long time. About 13 years long! It’s a great honor for me to be their engagement and wedding photographer because Farm has been such a great friend to my girlfriend while going to pharmacy school at USC. It feels nice to do something for one of the people who has helped my girlfriend survive school and look after her. For that I thank you Farm! For their engagement session, we explored the city streets of Los Angeles with my girlfriend, Katherine as the assistant. Thank you for the help!
