UCLA engagements

o



















these two science love birds have decided to tie the knot. since they both attended UCLA is was an ideal location for their engagements. I was embarrassed to admit I hadn't spent much time on campus. I live SO close..but I think I got a good feel for the place even if it was a summer ghost town.

we had a great time getting to know you both and are so excited for a traditional chinese
buffet!!!....oh and we're also excited to shoot your wedding day. small, intimate weddings are the best.

just a taste...

..of some of the goodness I shot while in utah this last week.
more of each family coming in the next week.

tea, skating & scones

in celebration of banans birthday I took her and kateford to the beehive tea room for lunch. I think we ordered one of everything. anna had peppermint tea while kate and I enjoyed dark european hot cocoa. I think my favorite thing we ordered was the scones (english scones w/jam). love the food and the quaint decor.

then after a short photoshoot in memory grove, we wizzed on over to classic skating were we pretty much owned the floor....well.....they did. I was a bit rusty. I think the last time I was on skates was junior high. I think if I had a couple more hours I could have gone pro. It was pretty awesome. great idea ann. your birthday was fun.
then we started our roadtrip back to LA with a stop at mom's cafe in salina ut for some hot scones (the utah kind, deep fried and covered in honey butter). I had been craving and we had to have! we got there right before closing and gave ourselves gut bombs gorging on delicious gooey bread.
