Are you getting excited with all these engagement sessions? I am so thrilled to be working with such rad couples this year and shooting engagements gives me the opportunity to really get to know them more before the big day.
Jeanette and Blake decided to have their session in Santa Barbara at the UCSB campus and Isla Vista, appropriate since that is where they first fell in love. I love going back to spots where couples met really brings a little something extra to session. Jeanette and Blake are also getting married at the fabulous Maravilla Gardens in Camarillo, CA later this year.
