Melissa & Ryan | engagement

I am amazed how happy I am after shooting. Its like a drug and each opportunity to shoot simply feeds the addiction. I've been in a funky mood lately and I realized how easily I snap out of it when I pick up a camera :) I was literally dancing around during the shoot and I think all these laughing pictures were because I was making such a fool of myself ;)

Today's couple decided to have their session at San Dimas Canyon Park for pure sentimental value. It was the place where Ryan realized he had "more than friends" feelings for Melissa and, that same day, he tried to "show-off" and jump off the swings 'Indiana Jones style' but ended up falling flat on his face that left him with a scar :)
Now, whenever they talk to each other about that park, it is simply described by a point to the nose and a little giggle followed by a "you know" (wink wink).
Im always amazed at the stories I hear about crazy things guys do to impress girls :)


Melissa and Ryan are both musical prodigies... I remember asking Melissa a few years back if she would sing at my wedding because her voice is simply mesmerizing... her response was..."If you'll shoot mine" ;) That was long before she was even dating Ryan! :) Funny how things happen sometime 'eh?

Check out some of the songs Melissa recorded through the Bible College
Thank You
