Brandon + Jessica - Engagement - Mountain Range Sunset Temecula Ca by Ulices Del Toro

We were so excited to photograph Brandon + Jessica’s engagement session. We have been a part of Jessica’s family for a really long time. We have photographed many of their family events, and all of her siblings weddings. This is going to be a very special wedding for us, and their engagement session was just the beginning of that for us.

Joshua + Felicia - Engagement - Dancing Through Downtown Pasadena by Ulices Del Toro

Joshua + Felicia have to be one of the funnest couples we have met! We met them for the first time to photograph their engagement session, and right from the start they were so much fun. They had us meet at the Historic Rialto Theatre in South Pasadena. They really loved the look of the theatre and just liked the fact that it had been in a couple movies they liked, and we thought that was pretty cool.

They did not have anything specific in mind for their engagement photos, they just wanted to come out and have some fun. It’s always exciting when we have a couple who is up for adventuring around and exploring our surroundings to make some really awesome photos. We walked around Pasadena and found some pretty cool places to shoot.

We found a cool stairway behind the theatre to get creative. We caught the sunset in a little residential area. We visited the Colorado Street Bridge and found some beautiful areas to run around and get them dancing. It was really great just hanging out with them, and we know their wedding is going to be such a blast!

Felipe + Iris - Engagement - Twin Peaks Ca. by Ulices Del Toro

When I first sat down to get to know Felipe and Iris, it was clear to me that these two are a perfect pair, and their enthusiasm for their big day got me just as excited even though they had just started planning everything out. We decided to head up to Twin Peaks for their engagement session, and things could not have gone any better!

Felipe is a huge Green Bay Packers fan, and we joked about having a Green Bay wedding! Rightfully so we had to do a few photos sporting some of his gear, and I am almost certain he will be sporting some green and yellow at his wedding. We strolled around the woods, found some epic spots for photos and had an amazing time watching these two fall in love all over again. 

When we reached the peak of the mountain, the fog rolled in. It got a little windy, and a little cold, but it did not phase either Felipe or Iris and it made for some pretty magical photos.
