So, this couple. Sweet, adorable, high school sweethearts, travelers, competition winners, best teeth ever, funny, and just all around cool. Originally from Kansas they now live in Chicago together. How did they manage to be in Pasadena for engagement portraits, you ask? Well, Eliza told me she has a small, but manageable addiction to entering competitions. And on this occasion she was the lucky winner of a sweepstakes that I was a partner in with the Hilton Pasadena Hotel.
The hotel wanted to offer an engaged couple a romantic weekend stay at the hotel with breakfast and goodies. And what better way, they thought, than by adding an awesome engagement portrait session with a local photographer. That would be me! I also asked Michael David Gallego of Cheveux Hair and Make-Up, a local salon in San Marino, to take part and he did a great job with both Eiza and Jon to get them photo ready. Not that they needed much!
We had a great time exploring Pasadena, and I got to be photographer and tour guide at the same time! Eliza had picked out the perfect set of clothes to compliment the locations and their own personalities. Jon has the whitest and nicest teeth I’ve ever seen! I even asked them if they were real! They are. He’s apparently just genetically blessed with perfect teeth, and no one is more jealous than me! And Eliza is just lovely inside and out. I’m only sad that they already have a photographer booked for their wedding on August 23rd this year in Kansas.
I know they are both going to look amazing on their wedding day, and look forward to stalking them on Facebook to see wedding pics when the day comes! 🙂
