{Kal + Tony} Engaged at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel

The craziest thing happened a couple of weeks ago. I just so happened to be shooting a wedding at the Ritz while one of my best friends was being proposed to on a balcony overlooking the wedding I was shooting. Her boyfriend had no idea that I would be there but upon arriving, Kal was stunned and told him that I was also there. They texted me "do you have time to shoot some engagement pictures today?" only moments before the bride walked down the aisle. Tears came instantly and I was overjoyed by the day! Lucky for me, it was an early wedding and I was done shooting at 5pm. I joined the festivities with their other friends that also came to celebrate. I got to do some informal engagement photos but more than anything, I got to celebrate with them. It was amazing and perfect! And I'm grateful that I got to be a part! I've wanted to blog their photos sooner but they were surprising all their friends at an event this evening. Hope it was a blast!

Hello, gorgeous ring (captured by my new macro lens).

 

I love this image! They look so incredibly happy! As they should be. I love love!

 

Kal's parents sent their congratulations, moments after learning of the great news.

Thursday I hit the beach with my friend Kal and her 4-year old daughter to capture some shots of her for a special someone. She and this special someone will be celebrating their one year anniversary and his 40th next week. Congrats! Here are a few of my faves from the session.

BTW, this is my 200th post!
