[ Charlie & Julie ]

We were so happy when our friend Charlie told us that he and his wonderful girlfriend Julie were engaged.  We were fortunate enough to get to know Charlie from serving at the Media Ministry at Faith Community Church in West Covina and we are honored that he and Julie asked us to photograph their upcoming wedding.
In the midst of a crazy week of commercial and editorial shoots (we'll post those soon), we were excited to head over to Newport Beach to shoot their engagement photos.  Most of the time it's a bit of a challenge getting the man to be comfortable and open in the photos.  Not with Charlie, all we had to do was put him and Julie in a situation and shoot.  It's wonderful to see two people so in love and not afraid to show it.  Their happiness and comfort in front of the camera made for some great pictures:
