Cat + Andrew - Beach Sunset Engagement Session - Laguna Beach Ca. by Ulices Del Toro

Had a wonderful time getting to know Cat and Andrew at their engagement session. It was our first time meeting in person, but we clicked right away and they were game for anything!

We had a perfect warm summer day at the beach in JANUARY! What more could you ask for?

Laguna Beach was perfect and I am so excited about how this set came out. I cannot wait for their big day!

Bryce + Desiree - Engagement - Snow Covered Mountain Session - Angelus Oaks CA by Ulices Del Toro

When I first talked to Bryce + Desiree about their engagement session, they already knew they wanted to do something adventurous. We planned on doing a mountain session in hopes of finding snow. Well the snow found us! The week we planned on having their session, we had a nice winter storm that more than guaranteed snow. Luckily for us, Bryce’s truck was built for this.

On the way up the mountain headed towards Angelus Oaks, we were a little concerned about finding a place to play in the snow that wouldn’t be over-populated with everyone who had the same idea that weekend. As we entered the snow covered mountains, we ended up getting into a mile-long line of traffic with people waiting to put their chains on.

We made a last minute decision to take a side road that was already covered in snow and had not been plowed yet. That road just happen to lead us up to the perfect empty trailhead where we had full range of mountains and forest completely covered in snow all to ourselves.

We got to run and play in the snow and take some pretty epic photos. Surprisingly it wasn’t event hat cold. it could not have been a more perfect way to spend an engagement session. Towards the end of our session it even started to snow on us. This really will be an engagement session i will never forget.

Cameron + Amanda - Engagement - Oak Canyon Nature Center - Anaheim Hills CA by Ulices Del Toro

Had an amazing time photographing this cute engagement session at the Oak Canyon Nature Center in Anaheim Hills CA with Cameron + Amanda. It was a nice walk down memory lane, just a few years back Maria and I got married at this exact location, it was so good to see everything from this side of the lens. I am so looking forward to this wonderful wedding with these two.

Luis + Sierra - Engagement - Angeles Oaks Ca by Ulices Del Toro

You know it’s going to be an awesome shoot when you pull up to your session, and everything is covered in snow! This was also the first time we met Luis and Sierra in person, and I’m pretty sure we hit it off because we spent the rest of the day laughing and having exploring the Angelus Oaks forest together!

Their pup Waffles also came with them, he loved running around the snow and playing with his humans! This was such a fun shoot from beginning to end. Their engagement session was a blast and we cannot wait for their big day!

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.
