Carly and Brian’s proposal story is so romantic.  The proposal took place in Southern California during an 8 1/2 mile round trip hike to Simi Peak and the lovely cluster of oak trees at China Flat.  While they were enjoying the magnifique view from the top of Simi Peak, Brian proposed to Carly with his mother’s original ring.  How special is that?!

I’m really looking forward to shooting this adorable couple’s wedding next May, but first I want to share a couple photos from their engagement session that I shot when I was in Los Angeles.

Carly wanted the couple’s wedding colors, purple and green, in the engagement pictures so we decided to do their photo shoot at the beautiful Descanso Gardens, a perfect location.  Brian, a lover of film photography, wanted classic black and white photographs.

I used color and b&w film for this shoot.  These are scans of the prints.  The black & white photographs are a gelatin silver prints.

Félicitations, Carly and Brian!  See you in May!

xoxo
