For this blog post, the couple was kind enough to write their own introduction! Before I get to their intro, I have to say that Joe and I had such a great time shooting with them at their UCLA engagement and can’t wait to see them again next month at their wedding at the Bel Air Bay Club!

Now, from the couple: Andrew and Alexis met in the fall of 2002 as freshman at UCLA at a magical event called a “Booze Cruise.” They started becoming better friends through a class had together. Alexis always found excuses to seek Andrew’s help and Andrew was happy to provide assistance. A year and a half later they kissed for the first time, and four months after that in June of 2004 they officially began “dating.” Six and a half years later, on December 11, 2010,  Andrew asked Alexis to marry him.

Nathalie and Adam are basically two insanely gorgeous people with beautiful personalities to match. Quick story about how I met Nathalie. Adam is actually my other gorgeous bride Paige’s brother. Nathalie was of course at Paige and Brien’s wedding but we didn’t really meet so officially. Very shortly after their wedding last year I got in touch with another bride’s (Adriane) makeup artist to do a semi-styled photo shoot/test shoot for a model she knew. When I showed up at Ayat’s (wonderful makeup artist) house who was our model but the ever gorgeous Nathalie! We got to chatting and starting talking about Nathalie’s wedding and were brainstorming venue ideas. Shortly after we became facebook friends (of course) and once she got her date figured out I became her wedding photographer! I am so glad too because they are such a wonderful couple. Now that I have rambled on lets get to some photos shall we? We shot them in the lovely Malibu mountains and had a blast. I can’t wait for their upcoming wedding at Orcutt Ranch.
