The Future Mrs. Letona: Irvine Proposal + Engagement Session

A HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE AT THE GREAT PARK

I was so excited when John texted me asking if I was available to photograph his proposal. We worked together at In N Out for years, so I felt beyond honored to be a part of such an important moment of his life. We all met at The Great Park to go on a hot air balloon ride. He wanted to go up in the balloon then propose later with candles, or so I had thought. We made it back down and I asked them to do a quick shot with the full balloon showing in the background. I turned away for half a second and he was already down on one knee. I was so glad there was a crowd behind me getting excited because I would have missed it otherwise. I couldn't be anymore stoked for these two! Congrats!! Enjoy!

Chris + Steph: Orange County Engagement Flashback

AN ORANGE COUNTY LOVE MADE TO LAST

All right, all right... Here's a flashback to the FIRST engagement shoot I did! CRAZY! Also, yet another In-N-Out love story; this time featuring my former manager Stephanie and her now husband, Chris. We first met at Steph's house in Tustin to get some shots at a nearby park, then headed to the Orange County Great Park.

Engagement Tip: Two looks is a happy medium -- one look that's more on the casual side and one look that's a bit dressier. Steph and Chris shot the more casual look at both locations and left the dressier look for the Great Park. Don't forget to accessorize. Ultimately, wear what makes you feel most comfortable.
