Chloe Moore // Photographer based in Manhattan Beach

Meet my beautiful photog friend Chloe! She's an incredibly talented wedding photographer in Manhattan Beach. We decided to grab some coffee and chat about photography stuff while exploring around Orange County . Check out these photos of her . We wanted to capture her love for her new Contax baby  (film) . My favorite part about photographing her is that contagious smile! No joke, she's a funny gal with SO much joy!  
Thanks Chloe for accompanying me and allowing me the privilege to shoot you!

{ M a t t + L a u r e n } // E n g a g e m e n t // Newport Beach Engagement Session

It doesn't matter what time of year it is, Newport Beach is always a gorgeous place for light & love and a perfect location for a Southern California engagement session. This fun couple {Matt & Lauren} wanted simplicity for their session so that the main focus could be their affection for one another and connection to the beach location. This lifeguard tower 10 is where they spent most of their days as a dating couple before being engaged . It is a sentimental location for them as they embark on new adventures as a married couple and new fur baby parents! 

THE PROPOSAL 

"After dating for Two and a half years Matt knew that he was ready to pop the big question. They had discussed a trip to New York with Matt's roommate Carl to visit their friend Jay. Matt knew this would be the perfect location. While Matt was busy planning and buying the ring, he had Jay walk through Central Park to scout out the perfect spot. With Jay's help the plan was finalized.

After spending 3 days in the city site seeing, touring, and enjoying time with friends the big day had arrived. They headed out to walk through Central Park with a group of friends. They were on their way to brunch at the Lighthouse in the middle of the park. When they arrived at the Oak bridge that Jay scouted out, Matt gave the "code word" to his friends to let them know he was about to propose so they could video and take photos of the event. While on the bridge posing for pictures, Matt caught Lauren by surprise and got down on one knee. As you all know, Lauren said YES!"
