Laura & Jimmy : Engaged

It was a firework extravaganza in Italy that sold him. Looking around, the perfect festival, the perfect night, in the perfect location, all Jimmy was missing was that perfect person to spend the evening with. He told himself this would be the place. The place he’d bring the woman he fell in love with someday. So they could witness the beauty and beyond, together. And wow, did he deliver. Years later, Jimmy returned to Italy. The same festival, the same type of night, the same location. Only this time, he had his perfect Laura. A beautiful, smart, kind soul that swept him off his feet. As the fireworks began, on that July night, in that beautiful city, the sky shined bright. Jimmy asked Laura to spend her forever traveling the world with him and she happily agreed.

Laura and Jimmy love to travel and read and celebrate and toast and smile. For their engagement session, they chose to combine everything they love in the city they will begin their married life together. I adore what they came up with and cannot wait for their July wedding!

Laura glows. She has such a soft, sweet beauty and essence about her. Cue the wind and the smiles. I love this set!

Thank you all for your comments. Jimmy and I wanted a session that would truly reflect US and what will be our new home (Long Beach). Jasmine- Jimmy proposed in Venice, Italy. No joke, as soon as he got on his knee and put the ring on my finger, the 45 MINUTE! Yes, 45 minute! firework show began. It was truly a picture perfect night.
