Karina & Wassim: The Engagement

 

I love it when couples are so incredibly in to each other.  You know, when they’re in sync with one another?  When one zips the other zips.  And then one zags and the other zags.  It’s so beautiful to watch… two people who are so madly in love with each other. 

Karina & Wassim are that couple.  They couldn’t keep their eyes or hands or lips off one another!   And it was so adorable!  He just stares at her, like he can’t not look at her.  She laughs and his eyes dance… so happy that she’s happy.   This is why I love engagement sessions.  A full two hours to just stare at the person that you’re going to be pledging your entire life to.  To stare.  And kiss.  And fall even deeper in love.  It was one of my favorite parts of my own wedding planning process and I’m so happy to see my couples enjoying the same experience.

Karina & Wassim – You two are so beautiful together. A true perfect match!  I am so wicked excited for your Santa Barbara wedding, just a few months away!  Hope these images remind you two to stare at each other.  And kiss.  And fall even deeper in love!

They picked the most amazing locations for our shoot.  Cafe Wa S in Hollywood, followed by Hollywood Boulevard. Cafe Wa S had the most perfect nooks and crannies.  We had the place to ourselves for about an hour and the freedom to explore!
