Stephanie and Brian came to us as a referral from our friends and couple Rachel and Steve whose wedding we shot in Malibu in 2013. They all attended Pepperdine Law School together and it almost seems like the next chapter of love coming out of this iconic law school. We met with Stephanie and Brian to discuss shooting their Santa Monica and Malibu engagement session. They wanted to capture the Southern California foundation of their relationship. We love engagement sessions in Santa Monica and Malibu and have a love affair with sunset photos. The wedding is being held just outside Atlanta (which we are beyond excited to be part of) and they really wanted some photos while they were still here in LA.
So, we started their engagement session off at Pepperdine in the Law Library. It is so much fun taking photos around the Pepperdine Campus. From Stauffer Chapel (which has the most amazing stained glass windows we have yet to see) to Alumni Park with sprawling grass lawns, there are so many gorgeous views everywhere. Santa Monica played a big part in their relationship so we headed their next so we could capture some beach photos and of course some fun sunset photos under the pier.
As you can see by these photos their love really comes through. They were fun and flirty and had an awesome time. It was also Stephanie’s Birthday, so we got to celebrate with her and brought her some red velvet bundt cake from one of our favorite dessert places Nothing Bundt Cakes.
We would love to know your love story. Contact us HERE to share it with us.
