Long Beach Engagement Session: Brandon & Erica

You know those friends you meet in college that just stick? The ones you know you'll keep in touch with through the next crucial, exciting stages of life? Well, Brandon's been one of those friends to me (Liz). He and I met in college, and in many ways, he became the big brother I never had. We've seen some of each other's high's and low's, and hands down--Erica coming into his life was a huge high. From the get-go, it was clear that their relationship had the "stick" factor; this one was for keeps. Their love for Jesus radiates from every facet of their lives, their love for people is impossible to miss, and their love for each other speaks for itself. 

These two are incredibly passionate; they're the kind of people who pour their whole selves into whatever it is that is set before them. They are loyal and loving, funny and generous. They are the type of people who you'll never hear a single negative thing about. As a result of being such natural lovers-of-others, it is clear without having to spend too much time with their friends, that Brandon and Erica are two very loved individuals. 

It was such an honor to spend time with the love birds in the city where all the magic happened: The city that holds such a special place in both their hearts is the very one in which they met (at The Auld Dubliner), where Brandon proposed, and where they decided to have their engagement pictures taken. It was so fun running around my old stompin' grounds with these two:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There you have it, folks--two incredibly beautiful people. As it turned out, this shoot turned out to be even more fun than we could have anticipated. At The Starling Diner, they ended up getting their coffee on the house because the server was awesome, and at The Auld Dubliner, the workers let us take their arrow chalkboards down from the walls and use them for the shoot. Thanks for letting me take your engagement pictures. Dave and I can't wait for your wedding. July couldn't come soon enough!
