ENGAGEMENT

Andrew and Liza | An Engagement Shoot |

There are people who are decently smart… just smart enough to get by and still look like they know what’s going on. Then there’s the people who are truly smart and don’t even have to try to look like they know how the world works. I’m pretty sure I fall into the first category, but Andrew and Liza definitely fall into the smart people category. Throughout junior high and high school, I would glance across the classroom at Liza and wonder if she was as confused as I was…. but alas, she would always have this expression of understanding… and her answers confirmed my suspicions… she was just plain smart. Since high school, Liza went off to college and graduated early, only to continue her education in pharmacy school (if there’s a more formal name for it, I don’t know it… case in point) and recently graduated and became a bonafide Pharmacist with a leading US company. Like I said…. she’s smart. Then there’s Andrew, who is probably the most perfect guy for her. Not only is he ridiculously smart, but he oozes a quiet certainty that CONVINCES me that he DEFINITELY knows how the world works. Together, I think they’re going to conquer the world. They met back in high school, and… they’ve been smitten for each other ever since! When she first asked me to be their wedding photographer…. I couldn’t have been more excited and honored, and over the course of their engagement, I’ve gotten to see little snippets of how sweet, how sure, and how deep their love for each other is…. and it makes me giddy inside. Here’s my favorites from their Orange County “Modern meets Country” Engagement Shoot…
