Engagement: Connie & Ryan

Their eyes met from across the room and there was an instant attraction. He casually walked out of the dorm showers in nothing but a towel spotting the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. At the very moment he looked at her, he was smitten by her beauty. It may or may not have been the fact that he was half naked that drew her eyes straight to him.
Being the easy going spontaneous person he is, he decided he had to introduce himself and ask her for a dance. Although she swears she doesn't remember him that night she can't deny the fact, that from that very moment she would spend forever in love with him. They are the perfect match! They share enjoyment in all the small things in life, from spending the day out driving looking for their future home or staying in for an evening and cooking dinner together. Most importantly everything they do they find a way to laugh.
I feel so fortunate to have met Connie & Ryan. There is just such a happy fun mood about them, that can't help but make you smile. I am excited to be shooting their wedding next month, everything about them tells me I am going to be smiling the entire day. We spent the evening shooting at two locations in Bakersfield. It was a total blast!



I must say Ryan, you are looking pretty modelesque here!

Connie's smile lures you in in the most magnetic way. Between her eyes and her smile you can't help but fall in love with her!







I love how you both can look so happy and a minute later look so fierce...



Bring on the GQ!



...and of course there is always some time to relax during the day and enjoy the simple things in life!





They both enjoy having fun and being goofy so of course we had to bring in the playground equipment for them!





Ryan has a way of making Connie laugh even in the most romantic of moments, this is the very thing that she loves about him.







Happiness is always a key ingredient to life long love. Keep making each other smile daily and things will always look bright!
