Lily and Chris | Long Beach Engagement Session | Japanese Gardens & The Lighthouse

When we had our initial meeting with Lily and Chris at Urth Cafe many months ago, Miguel and I left the meeting saying to each other, "They are a super sweet couple!" And today, we couldn't agree more. We had a jolly old time shooting their engagement session in Long Beach. We began at The Japanese Gardens - it was the perfect setting to start the shoot off right!  Beautiful, colorful and romantic.  Then we went to Bluff Park where Chris surprised Lily with a picnic lunch and wine.  Good move Chris!! : ) We then headed down to the beach and got our feet in the sand (and the water)!   I am so glad that our photos were able to capture the playfulness, fun and romance that followed.  We ended at The Lighthouse, where the clouds and the sky were both masterpieces for our cameras.  In fact, we all had such a great time, that after the engagement session photo shoot, the 4 of us went out to dinner afterwards.  Good times!  Lily and Chris ~ we are thrilled to call you both our friends and we are so looking forward to photographing your Wedding in Pasadena next month!  xoxo
